Subject: Missing event when moving

From: Carsten Wolff <carsten [...] wolffcarsten.de>
Hi, imagine two files test1 and test2 within a watched directory, which where created within the same second. When I `mv test1 test2`, no event for test2 will be generated by AEFN. The reason is, that AEFN uses a comparison of mtime to detect changes, but mtime only has a 1-sec. resolution. Cheers Carsten

Most filesystems only have second resolution on their timestamps, and repeatedly computing a hash for every file is too inefficient. So I think we are stuck with this behavior unless we parse the event data. The next release (already on github) will support parsing events on some platforms (Inotify2 initially).
