How to handle the MODIFIED event when copying files etc.. #27

I'm working on a filesync app, that watches for changes, new files and so on.

I've noticed on Windows that the MODIFIED event fires multiple times when copying a file to the folder.

The same thing happens when you copy a file in the same folder.

This is kinda an issue for me, as i only need the event once per file.

How should one handle this?

You could use a debounce like lodash has. Then you can decide how long to wait after the last modified event for the file to be deemed "changed".
