imfile: normalize file monitor path when adding to monitoring state tree #2518

Open rgerhards opened 6 years ago

rgerhards commented 6 years ago

dev reminder item: we need to normalize the file system path when adding file monitors, e.g. dot and dot-dot need to be acted on. Due to wildcards we may not be able to do that fully correctly; either address this or document potential issues.

Given that this is pretty old AND imfile works quite well now, I wonder if implementing this really makes sense. Let's keep it as a reminder item for now.
