Ubuntu 20.04, fswatch 1.14.0

Even with the -1 flag I get 3x the number of lines output vs on mac where I only see 1.

On Linux
$ fswatch -1 /path
/path/file.ext
/path/file.ext
/path/file.ext

On Mac:
$ fswatch -1 /path
/path/file.ext

This might be related to #255

Different OS behave differently, output can't be guaranteed to be the same. Have you tried printing the event flags to see what's being reported?

See #255 (fixed in master)
