Directory Watcher not seeing file get updated.
Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2015 2:28 am
I'm having an issue with the .Updated trigger for the Directory Watcher plugin. This may just be a failing of Windows 7 as I've read that Windows 7 does not refresh folders very well to begin with.
This plugin is not seeing a folder and the files within it get updated when an external program modifies them. In fact the only way I can get the plugin to work when this happens is to manually go to the folder in Explorer and then the plugin sees the update and launches the trigger.
Are there any workarounds for this? Is there a script or batch file command that exists that refreshes the folder and forces the Directory Watcher plugin to look for these types of changes?
The plugin works great when using the .Created trigger, but its not a solution I can use for this particular problem.
