Great use-case for lnotify, haven't thought about that. Feels much cleaner than having cron jobs for conversions like these.

With the listen gem you can write crossplatform scripts (http://rubygems.org/gems/listen).
For those of Perl persuasion, there are:

    * File::ChangeNotify (https://www.metacpan.org/module/File::ChangeNotify)
    * Filesys::Notify::Simple (https://www.metacpan.org/module/Filesys::Notify::Simple)
Hadn't come across listen, that's perfect for what I need. I've used notify on Linux but I wanted something a bit more portable for OS X.
