Create a folder and a file in a directory that's symlinked (/var/tmp) Then start barbary watchservice Delete the file and the folder You will receive a Create event to the root folder

The following code, canot handle symlinks:

if (file.getAbsolutePath().startsWith(folderName) && !filesOnDisk.contains(file)) { Hence it will not find the files in the lastModifiedMap

Hi @maczikasz sorry for the slow response -- as you may have gathered, I haven't had capacity to maintain this project in a long time. I'm finally officially retiring it. See README for possible alternatives, if you're still needing this. ✌️

I did not expect to receive any kind of answer after 5 years :D but I since also moved on from the project that needed it, all the best to you
