That should be it. Thank you. But I urge you to re-read the "canonical" documentation in the headers. The difference you point here (between PATH_TYPE_TARGET_LITERAL and PATH_TYPE_LITERAL is not written there. The very simple distinction between "the path of the executable creating the event" and "the path of the file which is the target of the event" -- is simply not there. I understand now that these paths can sometimes coincide, but I think the documentation lacks proper explanation for the "use case" of these 4 different path "styles". Thank you - I will test with the newer API with the (hopefully correct) path style, and see that indeed events are muted.
