Directory Change Notifications do not work

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
