Yes, for the time being, the Mac Version could use the (not optimal) 
local file system polling as win does, what you experience here is a bug 
in with the #defines, from the top of my head I think you have to undef 
USE_WATCHER to switch on the polling.

Yes, the FSEvents solution will be the one to go, but there is still 
code to write. If you are interested to look into that, I'd really happy 
about. Otherwise, we will look into the Mac build this weekend on the 
dev meeting, so probably soon it will at least compile :-)

Best,

Klaas
