Trailing slash for directories #302

Open jdspugh opened 1 year ago

jdspugh commented 1 year ago

inotifywait will distinguish between files and directories modified by having a trailing slash if it's a directory. Can we have the same behaviour in fswatch?

I need it for some code that behaves differently depending on if a file or directory is changed.

I see we can detect directories using the "-x" option. But it would be more convenient and efficient with the trailing slash.
