I just ran it and it showed which processes where holding the most watches.

I think your link is broken and you mean #208. I'll try to make a new release soon.

done, building now, with luck should be released in a ~30mins.

I've created a pr to delete `setup.py` to avoid confusion.

Notify does support renaming with some backends, see [here](https://docs.rs/notify/latest/notify/event/enum.RenameMode.html), I think some back-ends (e.g. polling) don't support it but most do. If you run watchfiles in debug mode, you'll see...

Maybe, but it sounds complicated in watchfiles too :smile:. Let's start by fixing #148 and adding a `Rename` option to the change we yield and see how well that works....

New plan at https://github.com/samuelcolvin/watchfiles/pull/202#issuecomment-1305468800. If anyone wants to take this on, feel free.

ok, I still think it would still be a good idea here, but good to know it's not urgent.

Humm, but how are you going to detect the input? Would this work when used by a third party app, like uvicorn? How complex wild the implementation be? I'm keen...

yes, notify, and therefore watchfiles doesn't allow you to exclude a directory, just select multiple directories to watch.
