Detailed Description

SingleFileObserver observes a single file for changes on disk. SingleFileObserver observes a single file for changes on disk. When the application detects the file has been modified it will invoke all lambda functions registered with onChange(...)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SingleFileObserver()

inviwo::SingleFileObserver::SingleFileObserver

(

const std::filesystem::path &

filename = ""

)

Creates a file observer for filename and start observing that file

Member Function Documentation

onChange()

const BaseCallBack * inviwo::SingleFileObserver::onChange

(

std::function< void()>

callback

)

Register a callback that will be called once the file has changed on disk.

removeOnChange()

void inviwo::SingleFileObserver::removeOnChange

(

const BaseCallBack *

callback

)

Remove a callback from the list of callbacks

start()

void inviwo::SingleFileObserver::start

(

)

Start observing the file, not only needed to call if stop has been called in the first place since the constructor calls start()

stop()

void inviwo::SingleFileObserver::stop

(

)

Stop observing the file. This is useful if you know the file will change and a callback is not needed, for example if you write to it yourself or if you know it will be updated several times
