Auto-refresh not working for some paths
I have a text file called plan.txt and I edit it in MacVim. When I save, normally Marked refreshes and shows the changes within about a second. But when I moved the file to another place (and reopened it in both apps) it no longer worked. I would save, and Marked would not notice. I took to cmd-tabbing to Marked and typing cmd-R to refresh, which worked.
My home folder is /Users/kevinc/. At these paths, auto-refresh works normally:
- /Users/kevinc/Desktop/plan.txt
- /Users/kevinc/A/plan.txt
- /Users/kevinc/Src/plan.txt
At these paths it does not work:
- /Users/kevinc/a/plan.txt
- /Users/kevinc/src/plan.txt
So I think it has to do with lowercase folder names.
In these tests, the Unix owner, group and file permissions were:
- Desktop, drwx------+
- A, kevinc:staff drwxr-xr-x
- a, kevinc:staff drwxr-xr-x
- Src, kevinc:staff drwxr-xr-x
- src, kevinc:staff drwxr-xr-x
- plan.txt, kevinc:staff -rw-r--r--

This is interesting (and rather serious). I will do some testing and plan to have a fix in place before 1.3.1 is released.

Kevin,
I can't replicate this, but it appears the drive I'm testing on is formatted as case insensitive. I assume yours is case sensitive?

According to Disk Utility, my disk is formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", as opposed to "Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)". For what it's worth, it's a third-party SSD but it is my only hard disk. I could do a screencast of the problem if you like?

No screencast needed. You've described the problem well, I just need to be able to replicate it locally before I can possibly see if changes have any effect. I may shoot you some predicates for `mdfind` to test, though. I'll be in touch soon.
