 Right now I can detect if a file changes, and it's ok. However, can I 
 track if a file *comes back*?
 
 For instance, if I rename a watched file a.txt and rename it to 
 b.txt, I get the slot running. Can I detect if the b.txt gets 
 renamed back to a.txt?

i haven't tried, but perhaps watching the parent directory itself will help.

Yes, it does the trick. It's trickier than I've hoped because I have to 
search for the changed file in the directory, but I can live with that.


Thanks!
