Works fine here with absolute paths. Consequently, it triggers all four
connected signals, if I touch the watched file in my home.
Guys, if you rely on some special file argument, why can't you provide a global
variable or even better, a command line parameter.
I don't think permissions are the problem because I tried the with
the same file in the current folder and then in the parent folder and
it works for the first and it doesn't for the latter...
I'm on a Linux workstation accessing hard drives physically stored in
a data center elsewhere. Can this be the problem ? I would think not
because if it works for a file in the current folder it should work
for the parent folder as well since both are in the same hard
drive/filer ...
My home is NFS, too. If I remember correctly, Qt uses simple timer based
polling for the file system watcher since being multi-platform they cannot rely
on any special OS kernel/filesystem feature.
Any insight anyone ?
Yes, you're using ancient versions of everything. This is most probably, what
does harm in your case.
the problem appears to be the one detailed in this thread:
http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2008-02/thread00553-0.html
there is a 'workaround' suggested there, but it is somewhat hackish, and
may not be available in the version of qt the op is using.
