[getdata-devel] kst with dirfile data source on Windows not detecting update

[Steve M. <Ste...@na...>]

Hi,

I'm using kst2 2.0.7 on Windows with dirfiles for a data source and kst
doesn't seem to detect dirfile updates.  The funny thing is, if I do an
"ls" in a Cygwin shell on the dirfile directory, kst instantly sees the
change.  The same system updates fine on Linux.

I swear in early googling I saw a comment about Windows doing something
funky and users had to close their dirfiles to trigger the update but I
can't find that now!  Not a nice solution regardless ...

After an initial source code swoop it looks like gd_nframes() is used by
kst to trigger the update so after I complete my struggle to compile kst
with 3rd party libs on Windows I'll be looking into that function.

In the meantime if anyone has any tips I'd greatly appreciate it.

Steve
