[Jeff Young <jeff@xxxxxxxxx>]

How bizarre.  Make you wonder how it worked on Mac and Windows.  (Hmmm… I wonder if GTK goes through wxFSW_EVENT_RENAME and Mac and Windows go through wxFSW_EVENT_DELETE and wxFSW_EVENT_CREATE?)

Your patch works on OSX except for one thing: it doesn’t get the selection right (selecting the next item in the moved-from location rather than keeping the moved item selected).

Cheers,
Jeff.

First of all, we were renaming the old node with the new filename which was causing the deletion routine in the rename fswatcher handler to never find it and remove it. Second of all, we were adding the new file into the same directory as the original file, so it was looking like it was never leaving.

The first set just reverts the changes that Jeff made to the code to get it back to the state it was originally, and the second is the actual new changeset. @Jeff and @Mikolaj, if you could both test these changes on Windows and OSX to see how they behave that would be good. If they work for both of you I will push them.
