DosNotify on FS-UAE from Ubuntu file change?
 

I am trying to write a simple program where AmigaDOS will detect that a file has changed and take action based on that. The code compiles and works well if I change the file on the emulated Amiga side. However, if I change the file from the host OS (Ubuntu 18.04), the notification is not triggered.


Is this expected?

Annoyingly that seems to be common. At least it happens to me.

When programming on the host to be compiled on the Amiga FSUAE I find that I have to "touch" the files on the Amiga size for a change to be reflected.

That information looks like it's kept in the .uaem files which is probably what the emulator is looking at when checking file metadata.
