Question: Multiple file changes report has one event

Open Narven opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

This is not an Issue and I apoligise for it. But I wanted to ask if I'm monitoring recursively some folders, and there is a change that affects 20 files, like a multiple rename on files or multiple rename on some word inside multiple files, is it possible for this to be triggered has 1 event, instead of 20? with this package.

thanks.

PS: I know there is the possibility of setting some timer? is this the only option?

I have the same problem - the polling interval does not address this.

When 200 changes occur, watcher seems to chain it and executes the specified command 200 times then. That's unfortunate.

We would need an option to make the watcher wait a certain amount of time before executing the command if nothing changed in that period of time, and only then it should execute the command (once)
