What's new

API: File watchers

In some scenarios, Neutralinojs app developers need to implement file watchers in their apps. Earlier, Neutralinojs API didn't offer a native file watcher API and developers had to use less-performant workarounds, such as making recursive filesystem.readDirectory calls. The new file watchers API lets you create native, cross-platform, event-based file watchers for filesystem paths with the following functions:

• filesystem.createWatcher(path): Creates a new file watcher for a given path and returns the watcher identifier.
• filesystem.removeWatcher(watcherId): Removes a files watcher based on a file watcher identifier.

Whenever a filesystem change occurs, file watcher instances dispatch the watchFile event with the following data:

• id: Watcher identifier
• action: Filesystem change: add, delete, modified, and moved
• dir: Directory path
• filename: Modified file

Improvements/bugfixes
