    hi,
    I have used windows api implement something like QFileSystemWatcher before, I know windows can tell us what operation is . but QFileSystemWatcher not tell the action of file or directory,
    Do other operating systems not have this feature?

    if I rename a dir, the directoryChanged() just tell me the dir name after I modified. so how to know what is the old name when you what to sync between dirs?

    and there is another problem, when I added some dir by using addPath(), why I can not remove this dir by using windows file manager?
