Hello:

I've thought this through, and I think it's a valid and workable request:

Assuming Realtime Sync gets passed a useful filepath from inotify (or whatever the underlying filesystem watcher is), then could Realtime Sync only process that given filepath (or its parent - whichever seems more ...
