I'm creating an application that watches certain folders for new
files, and then performs various tasks on these files. I'm developing
it as a Foundation Tool that will run in the background.
I'm having difficulties deciding how best to implement the folder
watching code. I was really hoping there would be a Cocoa way of doing
this, and NSWorkspace looked promising except that it appears that the
notifications don't actually work - is this correct? I certainly
couldn't get them working and I found lots of discussion topics where
other people said they did not work.
So I started looking at Carbon. FNSubscribe looked promising except
that it appears to be designed for GUI apps. The new Leopard File
System Events API looks great except that I need this app to also be
compatible with Tiger.
So all that leaves is kqueue. Is that my only option?
Thanks,
Mark.
