<p>Works fine here with absolute paths. Consequently, it triggers all four connected signals, if I touch the watched file in my home.</p>

<p>Guys, if you rely on some special file argument, why can't you provide a global variable or even better, a command line parameter.</p>

<p>My home is NFS, too. If I remember correctly, Qt uses simple timer based polling for the file system watcher since being multi-platform they cannot rely on any special OS kernel/filesystem feature.</p>
