Log files get stale #150

Closed levmin closed 6 months ago

levmin commented 3 years ago

I have 2 Windows machines, an always-on Server and a Workstation that gets suspended overnight. The Server runs some software that generates log files, also residing on the server. The Workstation runs Snaketail that monitors them. After I resume the workstation, the Shaketail does not show changes in log files that happened overnight. Closing the program and reopening the same session does not help, but if I close the session and drag-and-drop the log files onto Snaketail, the appear properly. Thank you.

SnakeTail tries to perform explicit refresh of the log-file folder avoid the issue with stale network-directories:
