Recent documents menu goes empty, if FAM sends a DELETE, CREATE event sequence
Last modified: 2005-08-16 06:36:22 UTC
Use gamin 0.1.5 with inotify, and just use the desktop for a while. The recent Documents menu will go empty. Open a terminal, and 'touch .recently-used' the menu will be re-filled. You can cause this to happen by doing this, $ cp .recently-used .ff $ rm .recently-used check the menu, it's empty. $ cp .ff .recently-used check the menu, it's empty. $ touch .recently-used check the menu, it's back. The problem is that when the application gets a CREATE event, it doesn't do anything. The create event should be treated the same way as the CHANGED event. This doesn't happen with gamin + dnotify, because it is racey and doesn't send all the events. (IE, the file is deleted/created before gamin has a chance to respond, so it thinks it's just been changed).
