This signal is emitted when the file at the specified \a path is
modified, renamed or removed from disk.
+ \note As a safety measure, many applications save an open file by
+ writing a new file and then deleting the old one. In your slot
+ function, you can check \c watcher.files().contains(path).
+ If it returns \c false, check whether the file still exists
+ and then call \c addPath() to continue watching it.
