inotify notifies when files have finished being written to. To reliably detect if a write to a file has finished the event necessary is CLOSE_WRITE.

Sorry, but adding new events that only work on Linux and don't do anything on the other supported platforms isn't a great solution. If you have some ideas, please discuss on #22. |

On a Linux machine you can just copy a file into a folder. Close will be triggered even when a file is not changed.
Update will only trigger when a write was recently finished.
