Yes, I can put a note there. It's an old unmaintained code basically with a few known issue. The main one being that you can only have a limited arbitrary number of monitors on windows. In addition with issue when monitoring the same file/directory multiple time. Also keep in mind that EFL does use it internally so you may endup with multiple monitor on your file that you don't know about. >> > As for the question of why I switched from Eio, I already answered it. >> >> Yes, but your bug report doesn't really help.

I don't ask that much, but will love to get it anyway :-) But usually when you are aware of a problem and can at least describe it, this already help.
