Hi, well touch is not the only app which does this. I think that the bottleneck is the fs event watcher used by nautlus. It should check an open call is possibly a create call (by using the right flags), and it does that probably not. Do you have tested this behaviour using another filemanager? It's weird since all futher calls like ATTRIB test (on the second file) should also result in action in the filemanager. It should find out that has not yet this entry in it's view, and should thus create it, correcting earlier errors. I'm writing a fsevent monitor (notifyfs) which uses inotify as backed on linux. Clients can connect to notifyfs and receive fsevents when something happens. I had to tackle this problem myself.
