NET applications a file rename is an atomic operation. If you have control over the file producer you can easily tame this event flood by renaming the files to the watched directory or watched extension only when they are totally complete. xlsx file and triggers 8 events for 3 different files of which none is changed event for the file changed one would naively expect:įile system event flood triggered by Excel for single actions like „Save“ Ex: Excel triggers 15 NTFS events for 4 different files when creating a single new. Some applications trigger lots of file system events for a single action.
