#24 Modify Event not triggering for changed files

[Anonymous]

Modify Event does not trigger when I add or remove contents from a file in a watched folder. Instead a CREATE followed by a DELETED events are triggered.
Currently using 0.94

To reproduce this:
1) On Mac OXS Lion, watch a folder
2) add a file
3) modify the contents of that file

No MODIFY event is triggered as explained above.

How are you modifying the file?

I am using TextEdit to modify the file but the it also happens when i use any other editor.

Thanks

If i use "nano" it works fine.
If i use "vi" the bug reported above happens
If i use textedit the bug reported above happens
If i use Word for Mac it works fine ...

... The point is that it's not consistent, is there anything i can do to fix this?

Thanks

Saving from TextEdit gives the following:

"created /Users/alessiofailla/Documents/myjtest : myfile //called by net.contentobjects.jnotify.macosx.JNotifyAdapterMacOSX.(batchEndEvent):[655] -:
deleted /Users/alessiofailla/Documents/myjtest : myfile //called by net.contentobjects.jnotify.macosx.JNotifyAdapterMacOSX.(batchEndEvent):[665] -:"

this is not a bug.
what you are seeing is that most text editors actually create a new file when you save your file and not modifying the existing file.
try using an programming API to change the file.
