QFileSystemWatcher on OSX /dev?
Unsolved

I'm trying to use a QFileSystemWatcher on OSX to monitor the /dev directory to detect when I plug or unplug a USB-to-serial device. I don't get any errors but the watcher's signals never seem to fire when I plug or unplug the device. Is this a limitation on OSX that the /dev directory isn't really accessible? Is there any other way to do this?

That's great but seriously overkill for something that's may be a bug. There's nothing in the Qt docs that says you can't monitor an OSX system directory.
