If Windows has more of these events I don't wonder why it is so slow.... And BTW: Under Windows you either need to buy a completely different product for having your OS in English or German - so is there any real change of having that changed on the fly? Oh yes, because I have seen russians working on a german OS (because all the clients in the company where german installations) using an application that was not able to deal with unicode inputs. Hence, Windows has a feature that remembers the configured locale for every window you use and if you switch it for one Window and then focus another window the locale changes. I think that is the reason for having such events on Windows. > This is basically what is happening in the case of file system > listener events finally being supported in Java...at least when Java 7 > finally comes out. I heard, it does not really work correctly in all OS - try check out http://jpathwatch.wordpress.com/ (I have it in my queue to try it but not done yet - however I read a little about it and others were satisfied with this). -- Martin Wildam http://www.google.com/profiles/mwildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
