Minor At watchdog setup we get:
2016-01-14 15:17:10,851 2480 2672 ERROR nxdrive.engine.workers 'module' object has no attribute 'read_directory_changes' Traceback (most recent call last): File "nuxeo-drive-client\nxdrive\engine\workers.py", line 140, in run File "nuxeo-drive-client\nxdrive\engine\watcher\local_watcher.py", line 104, in _execute File "nuxeo-drive-client\nxdrive\engine\watcher\local_watcher.py", line 500, in _setup_watchdog AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'read_directory_changes'
It seems that read_directory_changes canoot be imported under XP, see https://pythonhosted.org/watchdog/installation.html#installation-dependencies.
The Windows API provides the ReadDirectoryChangesW. watchdog currently contains implementation for a synchronous approach requiring additional API functionality only available in Windows Vista and later.
Here's the watchdog warning under XP:
