Fileclosed event for PollingObserver as Observer

omeruth opened this issue · comments

For network drive mounted via CIFS is there any support for file closed event and how to use that. I see that file created is triggered but not closed.

This would be very useful for me as well. I see the issue, though: with polling, how do you know when the close happens? You're not getting notified by the kernel, so you'd have to guess based on file modification age.
