      When modifying an open file from an external tool, Qt Creator doesn't detect the modification (the "When files are externally modified" option is set to always ask, but I still don't get the dialog).

      When adding or removing files from a project via the project tree (in .qrc or just the .pro), Qt Creator still displays the removed files or doesn't display the newly added files. I have to trigger a reparsing of the project by changing the build type (Debug <-> Release).

      I'm on macOS Sierra (10.12.6).
      My File System is: Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled, Encrypted)

      Other editors (Visual Studio Code) correctly see external modifications.
      I've made a sample console app with a `QFileSystemWatcher` and it works too.
