auto-watch mode does not detect renames

[jrvidal]

Some editors (Sublime 3 in my case) "save" the changes by writing to a temp file and then renaming. This is not detected by the watcher, and in any case chokidar does not emit a rename event. Would it be possible to detect them?

Would you be interested in fixing the issue?
See paulmillr/chokidar#35

You can try setting usePolling: false (which will use OS events rather than polling), but that has other problems... Probably the best workaround is to set "atomic_save": false (in your Sublime Text settings).

I'm closing this, as it is a known bug in chokidar/nodejs.

I mean, this is an issue, but there is already an issue for it - paulmillr/chokidar#35

Thanks @vojtajina, I'll take a look

@jrvidal I looked into this a bit more, see #974
