beause I don't know anything about it. Then I'm confused, since I didn't mean to suggest that file-name-handler work on anything other then strings. >> (file-notify-add-watch "http://www.google.com/?s=foo" '(change) #'ignore) >> => File notification error: "Directory does not exist", "http://www.google.com" > > What's wrong with this? `url-handler-mode' hasn't implemented > `file-notify-add-watch'. Yes, but the point is how would you ? By restricting watches to directories, you are also forcing every handler to have a concept of such an entity and to be able to watch it; rather then the original "filename". >> (hypothetical-emacsfs-mode) > No problem. Let's backtrack. I was suggesting that providing the given filename as an argument to the file-handler is more general than using it's directory. Your point as I understood it, was, that the existing file-notify-add-watch tramp-handler work just fine with directories, therefore such a change is not needed. My argument is that there may be other ways of using the file-name-handler machinery, and I was presenting some examples. I also fail to see any disadvantages (of using the given filename). -ap
