Directory Watcher 1.0a Misc 4.0 Community

Submitted by user KoBeWi; MIT; 2022-10-01

Allows you to watch contents of a directory for file changes.

Add DirectoryWatcher to your scene, register a directory and connect signals. It will automatically notify you of added, removed or deleted files.

var watcher = DirectoryWatcher.new()
add_child(watcher)
watcher.add_scan_directory("res://directory")
watcher.files_created.connect(on_files_created)
watcher.files_modified.connect(on_files_modified)
watcher.files_deleted.connect(on_files_deleted)

Change 'scan_delay' property to control scanning period (default is 1 second) and 'scan_step' to control scanned files per frame (default is 50). The watcher will go through the file list in a directory and emit the signals at the end of the cycle.

Includes built-in documentation. Check the repo page for more details.
