QFileSystemWatcher Question (Qt 4.1.2tp)

**momesana** · 9th July 2006, 16:08

I need to observate changes in a directory and have written a class "Monitor" for this purpose which uses gamin/fam to track the occuring changes. I am interested in what files have been added/removed to/from the directory. Using FAMEvent (fam) this is not that hard to find out. You just query the FAMEvent object for its code (event type) and filename attribute and get the necessary information you need. Now that Qt-4.1.2 has a file- and directory monitoring class, I tried to use that instead of my own dirty implementation. But it seems, like all it does is telling you that some changes to the directory have occured at all but not what changes (a file being added or removed ...) have taken places in particular. Are these features yet to be implemented or did I overlook something?

Thanx in advance

I reported it to the mailinglist. I hope they will implement it some day soon.

Thank you

I think the task tracker is a better place for this.

Unfortunately, only customers of trolltech have Task Tracker accounts, making it possible for them to submit Feature Requests etc. At least that's what the Task Tracker FAQ says:

At the moment, all customers with an active support contract have an account for Task Tracker. For the future we plan to provide an account system that allows anybody to create an account.

You can report a problem without an account, just click on "Open a new task".

http://www.trolltech.com/customer/task-tracker - requires an account
http://www.trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker - does not

A customer account just provides some extra features like voting on a bug and tracking a bug.

Thank you for the hint. One final question: How do I suggest a new Feature? When I open a new Task, the form is more or less designed for a bug report. ... Is there a special Feature Request form, or do I have to use the bugreport-form to suggest the new feature?

Thanx in advnace
