Created an attachment (id=67089)
 --> (http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=67089)
small patch to limit 'watched' files on OS X.

I propose the attached patch to fix this problem on OS X.  OS X limits the
number files opened per process to be 255, so if the user has more than 255
files, they cannot open them, which doesn't make digikam all that useful. This
patch makes digikam useful again but only watching directories, this limits the
user to 255 directories of images. This is not a perfect solution, but for the
timebeing this will enable digikam to be usable on OS X. I do not think this
bug should be closed since this is just a work-around and not a genuine fix.
