Directory sync ignores .git, trash and .DS_Store churn, so it wakes up less.
What's wrong with this entry?
Anonymous. No account, no email.
What
The file watcher behind directory sync ignores changes under .git, an internal dependency-ignore set, the session trash path, and .DS_Store, so routine local churn does not trigger sync work.
Details
- Editor scratch files ending in
.tmp,.swp, or~are reported as a change to their parent directory rather than to themselves. - Applies to all watching, with no toggle.
Evidence
.DS_Store
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
