watch all .hie files under folder .hiefiles, whenever a file Changed or New (rather Delete), will try to run index
also might be nicer to run index on individual file

Hi, you can get similar results with entr, then you can use something like fd .hie <some-dir> | entr hiedb -D .hiedb.

Yeah, I'm using similar to do auto reindex. just feel nice to have native support.

Plugging for myself but you can use https://github.com/josephsumabat/hiedb-plugin to handle this automatically for you via ghc
