Re: Watching for rsync write files but getting the temp name

Thanks for the pointer,

However the IN_CREATE picks up on the same thing, the creation of RSYNC's
temp file. However I've tried IN_MODIFY and IN_SELF_MOVE and they're not
picking on the transition from .myvideo.mp4.3sdsdf4 to myvideo.mp4
