--- Comment #3 from Murz <[email protected]> ---
Actually, there are a lot of apps that can "eat" inotify watchers a lot. For
example, when opening a directory in VS Code, it can easily add 10000 file
watchers at once, which will significantly slow down the system.

And if we have multiple VS Code windows, we want to understand which exact
window triggers the issue.

And it is great that KDE monitors this and informs the user about the issue.
But then, users have to identify which exact app caused the issue, to resolve
it correctly.

Actually, without `kde-inotify-survey` tool, I see no other easy ways to
identify the specific app that is causing the problem, that can be used by
regular users without grep-wc-awk magic, and other bash-based scripts usually
take a lot more time to gather the information. 

So, if we have `kde-inotify-survey` already in place, it would be awesome to
make it more user-friendly!
