Description Jack Bates 2007-07-06 00:26:19 UTC 
I wish there were a DBus interface to gamin, so for instance in Perl, I could do:

my $monitor = $service->get_object('/org/gnome/gamin/WatchMonitor', 'org.gnome.gamin.WatchMonitor');
$monitor->connect_to_signal('Changed', \&changed);
$monitor->connect_to_signal('Deleted', \&deleted);
$monitor->watch_directory('.');

Perhaps a DBus file alteration specification would be appropriate, like the DBus notifications specification: http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x408.html

It could then be implemented by any file alteration monitor...

Thanks, Jack

gamin is not under active development anymore and has not seen code changes for many years.
Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gamin/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
