</div>If KDirWatch uses inotify (which is likely), then the limit is 8192 on my<br>
machine to be exact. From reading the code, there seems to be no other limits.<br>
That would almost be a problem for kdebase, with 4000+ cpp+h files and<br>
possibly that many generated files of assorted kinds. However, inotify can be<br>
set to watch the directories that the files reside in instead, drastically<br>
reducing the need for watchers, at the price of getting some events we are not<br>
interested in.<br>
<br>
I can find no limits for the less like case of using libfam/famd.<br>
