GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 300040
New Extension allowing to watch local files and reload when necessary

First shot for such an extension, i have troubles getting the gnome_vfs_monitor actually works, and i don't see why because the code seems ok, maybe my system is hosed (got troubles with gamin recently)
Created attachment 45092 [details] [review] ephy-file-watch.patch Autotools patch (also contains rss extension, not that bad i hope)
Created attachment 45093 [details] ephy-file-watch.tar.gz Source files, in extensions/file-watch/
What about inotify?
gnome-vfs uses fam or gamin, which in turn use inotify to detect file changes :) Inotify is quite low level to use directly
Raphael: any chance you could adapt the patch to epiphany itself (put in ephy-tab.c)? :)
Fixed in cvs.
Sorry for the lag, i'm in italy :) Glad you could do it :)
