    why did you move that outside? is this being used elsewhere? if so, I can't see it by the diff apparently.

    the indentation is broken here, no? should be two spaces like the rest of the file.

    isDir looks like an outparam but is used like an in-param here. will this work for all cases where this function is being called when inotify is present?

Help is welcome!" on kde-core-devel. However, while starting on fixing that issue i noticed that this would be a nice small improvement to have. It also prevents one stat call that was used to determine if "entry" was a file or folder, but inotify already gives us that information.
