[PyQt] Problem with QFileSystemWatcher

[NARCISO, Rui]

In fact I had already tried that syntax without any success.

Further tests showed that in fact I am able to "watch" a file if it's in the same folder as my application, ie, if the path that I add to the watcher is just the name of the file with no other folder/levels.

As soon as I try to watch a file elsewhere, it simply does nothing ...

Why would this happen ?

in your example, you have:

     self.filename = '/home/to96665/toto'

if this is a file, you need to use:
	
     SIGNAL("fileChanged(const QString &)")

but if it is a directory, you need to use:

     SIGNAL("directoryChanged(const QString &)")
