Description (last modified by aeichner) (diff)
Applications that watch directories on shared folders do not seem to receive notifications when files are added to the directory. Noticed a while ago and just retested with 3.2.4, Ubuntu 10.04 64bit host and WinXP guest. Some tests that I have tried are:
Does not work
- Write file to shared folder => app watching shared folder
- Write file to samba share => app watching shared folder
Works (app receives notification and updates view)
- Write file to shared folder => app watching samba share
- Write file to samba share => app watching samba share
