I thought I'd try to see if anyone is experienced with monitoring directories here... So I have a basic system set up. ReadDirectoryChangesW to read directory changes. The only problem I'm facing here is that it returns directly after a new file is added to a directory. If N files are moved into a directory, it will pretty much return N times. This is problematic for me since I set off processing whatever files are dumped in asynchronously. And preferably, I want a total count of the files I'm processing, before I start processing (progress stuff). So basically it is: - Read directory change. - Store file added. - Wake processing thread. - Read new directory chance. - Store file added. - And so on. Ideally, I would like it to be just - Read directory change. - Store files added. - Wake processing thread. The only way I can think of doing this is by "peeking" to see if there are more changes waiting to be consumed by a call to ReadDirectoryChangesW since the function blocks until there's a new event. Any ideas?
