idea: watch for changed files using fsevent

Open jjb opened this issue 15 years ago • 7 comments

it's possible to have os x notify you when a file has changed, using push notifications that don't require peepopen to poll a directory tree.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSEvents

if peepopen did this, we would never have to manually hit command-r

(note: i have never used this framework, and it's quite possible that for some reason it won't work with peepopen :) )

This is a killer must have feature in my opinion.

+1 for auto update when files are created / moved / deleted

Would make peepopen so much better - especially when pushing and pulling regularly.

The FSEvents API is pretty well documented.

Can't say I've used it with MacRuby though, which is what PeepOpen is written in?

An initial implementation is in process. I hope to include it in the next release.
