Qt 4.7.4 (64bit)
uname -a = Linux euclid 2.6.32-32-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 20 21:52:38 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Description
under linux: I create a symbolic link to a file in another directory.
ln -s ../remote/x x
now code does: watcher->addPath( "./x" );
mv ../remote/x ../remote/y
mv ../remote/y ../remote/x
edit ./x
my fileSystemWatcher is no longer watching x. There are no errors or signals generated.
if I do:
cp ../remote/x ../remote/y
mv ../remote/y ../remote/x
edit ./x
or:
mv ./x ./y
mv ./y ./x
edit ./x
it works fine.
I know its a bit obscure, but it would be nice at least to know that my file is no longer being watched.
