watching changes to code saved in a different directory

[michaelpalumbo]

I love that the prototype module reloads the script (I'm currently working in javascript) whenever I save it. However, I found a limitation where it won't remember the path if I load a .js file from a folder other than the plugins folder. This means that:

1. The watcher isn't catching when filechanges are made
2. If I click to open a new file, the open dialog starts within the /plugins/prototype/examples folder, rather than the same directory as the file I previously loaded)

I can work without 2, but 1 is pretty key, since I'm collaborating on modules with others within git repositoriess. I assume this requires storing the absolute path, but I don't know cpp very well atm.

You should limit one bug per issue so I'll address the main one.

What is an example of a full path that is not being watched? In addition to that information, what is the path reported in the patch file under the JSON .data.path?

Huh, strange it works now. Maybe I had to reopen rack after creating a new file path? If I can reproduce the error I'll reopen the issue.
