[gobolinux-devel] Listener Recursion

[Bruno Moreira Guedes]

Lucas,

Firstly, I find listener very interesting(congratulations!).
But coming back to the subject, I 'committed' your rollback removing
the '#if 0' from both codes. But it seems to work, if I understood its
concepts...

I attached the results it present for me(I've been added some "poor"
"'debugging' info").

So, I can't understand what's not working... As I expected, it
executed the action for all the subdirectories... But...

Until I write this message, I saw that it don't add new
files/directories to the inotify list!!
So, I thing it's the problem. Am I right??

Thank's

[]'
Bruno
