[Samba] Problem to detect changes in directory

[sebastien Pastor]

Ok i guess i found out. Samba would do only Directory Changes 
notification but not File Changes notification.Meaning it returns only 
the fact that "something" has changed in the folder and not "this file" 
has changed. i guess my transcoder software is expecting the latter ...

Can anyone confirm me this limitation in samba ?


Cheers
