A project I'm working on needs to be able to capture the following
three file system events in order to write those changes to a log
file:
- Container changed events (when file is moved from one directory to
another on the same volume)
- Name changed events
- File add events (when files are added to watch folders or any of the
watch folder's sub folders from a different volume)
AppleScript's folder actions are in the ball park conceptually, but
their inability to operate on closed folders and the fact that if
something in a deeply nested folder hierarchy changes, those changes
don't propagate to higher level directories, make folder actions
unsuitable for my needs.
Would a Kext be the place to capture these types of file events in real
time?
