Re: A little help for GWorkspace

Hi,

in some Unixes (AFAIK in Irix) you have a 'file/directory change
notification service'. You basically have API to let the OS send you
notifications if some files/dirs changed.

Somewhat like:

  [fileManager watchPath:@"/tmp"
               observer:self
               selector:@selector(pathChanged:)];

This could be done using a daemon which implements a timer and sends out
notifications (eg using NSDistributedNotificationCenter). One advantage
would be, that this daemon only needs to run stat once if multiple
applications are watching the same path.

Greetings
