directory_watcher version 1.2.0
by Tim P.
http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/directory_watcher

== DESCRIPTION

The directory watcher operates by scanning a directory at some
interval and
generating a list of files based on a user supplied glob pattern. As
the file
list changes from one interval to the next, events are generated and
dispatched to registered observers. Four types of events are supported

added, modified, stable, and removed.

== CHANGES

  • 2 minor enhancements
    • added an option to persist state to a file [Benjamin T.]
    • the option to run the directory watcher scanner manually
      (i.e. one loop at a time)

Hi,

directory_watcher sounds like the ideal candidate to make use of
filesystem event notifications such as those provided by inotify or
fsevents. Are there any plans for this in a future version of
directory_watcher?

Regards,

Denis

Note that such a thing would be fairly trivial to add to Rev, as libev
already supports a cross-platform API for directory monitoring which
uses
inotify on Linux:
