I like the simplicity of the API. I also like the fact that I get a callback for all files in the directory on the initial call.
This is just right so one can build some index of a bunch of files in a directory and then keep updating the index when files get added. (For now I only need the file names, not contents, so its not a biggy that there are no file changed events). What is a bit of an issue though is that stalker doesn't seem to work properly when I create a new directory and then add more files in there. I.e. looks like stalker is obvlivious to anything that happens in subdirectories that weren't there before it got initialized. Is this a known bug? Or is it perhaps specific to my environment (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32 bit with node 0.6.8).
