No QFileDialog w/o inotify on linux anymore (QT-4.3.0)
Message 1 in thread
Hi All!
Is it correct, that one cannot use a QFileDialog w/o inotify (or some
other QFilesystemWatcher implementation) support anymore with qt-4.3?
This would be bad news for anyone still using a glibc version < 2.4
(inotify support was included in glibc with version 2.4).
Thanks,
Rolf

If inotify support is lacking QFileSystemWatcher will fall back to a
polling method, as per the API documentation. So if QFileDialog uses
QFSWatcher it should still work, although possibly not very fast on
network-shares.
