[wxruby-users] File system event ?

[Svend Haugaard Sørensen]

Hey. 

I am making a little TaskBar app, whos task it is to monitor a file and
change icon when the file is updated. 

First is there any way to catch a file change event direct in WxRuby?
Does WxRuby have a way to catch system event directly? 

If I can't do it in WxRuby, how do I then combine the RInotify package
with WxRuby. 

Exactly where do I put the rinotify.wait_for_events call ?

Is there some way to a it to the App.main_loop ?

Or should put it in a evt_idle? This might slow down UI.

Or should I try to figure out how to make a separate thread that
could wait and then generate a custom event.

So what do you think, have any of you tried any thing like it before?

PS. I am working on a linux box.
