Description (last modified by davidsarah)
The drop-upload feature (#1429) uses inotify to detect filesystem changes, and therefore works only on Linux. This ticket is about supporting the same feature on Mac OS X and possibly other BSD-based operating systems. Mac OS X has the fsevents, and all BSDs including Mac OS X have kqueue/kevent. If I understand correctly, neither fsevents nor kqueue/kevent give notifications of which files have changed, so the implementation will have to scan the directory and look at last-modified times to determine that. (This is occasionally also necessary for correctness on Linux; see #1430.)
