Hi all, I would like to get some feedback. As you may know, I am currently refactoring imfile to support inotify. One side-effect of the previous polling implementation causes me some headache:
Currently, imfile simply tries to open the file during each polling interval. As a consequence, it is able to monitor files even if the directory path leading to them is not always available (most importantly it must not be available on startup). Building this behaviour with inotify requires quite some code. So question now: do you think this is essential functionality? Is somebody actually using it? Side-Note: I call it "side-effect", as this behaviour was never spec'ed, intended, or designed -- it just happens this way due to how polling currently works. Feedback appreciated.
