Re: Track Hard drive Events

Thanks Bryan, this project looks great.
I just had a quick first look at it (without diving into the code yet) and
it seems to me that it is quite exactly what I was looking for.

I'll just have to adapt the code so that all the the subdirectories are
watched as well (and I need to know when a file is beeing moved from a
folder into another folder, i.e. not only that file.ext was deleted from
dir1 and file.ext was created in dir2, but that the file.ext that has been
created in dir2 was the file.ext that was deleted from dir1, that's a higher
level of information)

Maybe the API you use in your project can already provide this information
...?

Thanks so much again!

Best,
Jérémie

Hi there!

I've been looking a bit here and there but couldn't find any explanation
on
how to react to the following windows events:
- deleting a file
- renaming a file
- moving a file
for whatever file is located at least on the local hard drives (would be
better if it also worked for files located on network mapped drives, but
not
a priority for now).

I don't want to avoid the processing of the task, but only to be informed
(file name, path, what action, new name, new path).
So it's not a problem if my program is called after the event has been
processed.

Any hint would be really appreciated!
