[Github-comments] [geany] Avoid time interval for regular checks for file changes (#847)

[Matthew Brush]

In particular, from the man page of inotify:

> ... there is no easy way for a process that is monitoring events via inotify to distinguish events that it triggers itself from those that are triggered by other processes.

And...

> ... it does not catch remote events that occur on network filesystems.  (Applications must fall back to polling the filesystem to catch such events.)
