REVISION SUMMARY
  Although watchFolder is only called for directories, there is a small
  time frame where the just added directory has been deleted and a file
  with the same path has been created. This race condition can be avoided
  by adding the KInotify::FlagOnlyDir filter flag.
  
  This has been documented also in e.g. https://lwn.net/Articles/605128/.
