Quirks #8

Open Noitidart opened 9 years ago

Noitidart commented 9 years ago

Topic to keep track of quirks that are wontfix maybe

WINNT
- Even though subtree arg to false, if create a new file in a subdir of watched dir you get notification on dir changed with subdir name (elaborate on this, this is from memory)
inotify
- No notification when do anything in a subdir of watched dir, does of course trigger though if subdir is renamed SO we should make everything match this behavior (like kqueue #9)

Correction on WINNT, if subtree is set to false, and watching dir X which as a subdir Y. If anything immediately in Y is renamed/created/deleted you get a CONTENTS_MODIFIED on the Y. To make it match inotify and GioFileMonitor, I can do a test on every CONTENTS_MODIFIED to see if it is a dir, if it is, then discard that notification to devhandler.

On FSEVents 10.7+ no matter what I try anything no matter how deep the subdir is in dir X it will trigger. Right now I throw those events away.

The quirk mentioned on on inotify is _expected behavior_. It is the same behavior of GioFileMonitor. I am striving to make Windows and Mac match that behavior.
