Yes, you must be using window 8 or higher, which doesn't handle $shortfn, you need to workaround that, by using the $md5 of the filename for example.
alias monitor {
var %1 $1-
if ($1 == list) {
var %a 1
echo -a * /monitor's list:
while ($timer(%a)) {
if (monitor* iswm $v1) {
echo -a $longfn($mid($v2,8))
}
inc %a
}
}
elseif ($1 == off) {
:del
if ($hget(monitor,$md5($2-))) {
if ($show) echo -a * /monitor: $2- has been removed from the watched list
hdel monitor $md5($2-)
}
.timermonitor $+ $md5($2-) off
}
elseif ($exists(%1)) {
if ($isid) {
tokenize 32 $hget(monitor,$md5(%1))
;to add the check on $md5 too, use "if ($file(%1).mtime > $2) && ($md5(%1,2) != $1) {"
if ($file(%1).mtime > $2) && ($md5(%1,2) != $1) {
DO SOMETHING HERE
}
}
elseif ($show) echo -a * /monitor: $1- has been added to the watched list
hadd -m monitor $iif($md5(%1),$v1 $v1) $file(%1).mtime
.timermonitor $+ $v1 -m 0 100 noop $!monitor( %1 )
}
else .timer -h 1 0 monitor off %1
}
Should work, didn't try it.
"(1)" inside a folder name shouldn't be an issue
