Watching C:\ Does not Work as Expected

Open Camuvingian opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

When I have set the watcher to watch the C:\ drive, it simply does not react to file changes in the C:\ directory itself, ie. "C:\someFile.txt" is changed and saved and nothing happens. Any idea why this is occurring?

So right now there is no option to not include sub directories. Which would not work very well for your scenario. I don't think there should be much work to give it the option of just watching the directory specified though.

Would that be what solves your scenario?
