    Description

      Editors frequently save files by replacing, rather than overwriting a file. For a file system watcher this looks like the file is first removed and then re-added. The Qt built-in QFileSystemWatcher will stop watching files once they are removed. Therefore the preview will only catch the first edit of such a file.
