std::string upload_folder="e:\\test1\\";
wd::watch(upload_folder, changed);

Exception: Failed to find file or directory at: e

Store a queue of std::functions and push the registered handler into it whenever a file changes. Lock access to the queue with a mutex.

Have the user process the queue at an appropriate point in their code (by calling something like wd::handleChanges()).

If all of the watchers were running in a single thread, you could use Cinder's dispatchAsync to call handleChanges once if any callbacks were added to the queue that iteration.

static void touch( const ci::fs::path &path, ci::fs::file_time_type time = ci::fs::file_time_type::clock::now()

When using boost only ci::fs::file_time_type is not available since it isn't part of the boost filesystem

Hey, i wanted to ask if the boost dependency will get removed in favor of the C++ 17 filesystem which is already on some compilers

Hi there,

I'm trying to use Watchdog with Cinder, running Visual Studio Express 2013. Sadly, I can't get around the error mentioned in the title, even when simply trying to use your example call:

wd::watch( "shaders/lighting.*", [](const fs::path &path){
// do something
} );

Intellisense says it could mean a call to both variants of watch(). Do you have any idea what is going on here?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
