OS X does not provide a generic mechanism for you to receive
notifications about the creation, copying, moving, deletion, etc. of
files.
It does.
What I meant by "generic" is that there is no way for you to register
for notifications for movement of "any" file on the OS. You have to
know the location you want to watch in advance. Both polling yourself
and or using the FNSubscribe api require this.
There is no way to say "Notify me when any file moves".
There is no way to say "Notify me on all filesystem deletes".
You can say (using polling or FNSubscribe) "Notify me when a file moves
in /Library".
There is no way to say "Notify me when a file moves anywhere under
/Library".
