Latest file detection works oddly on Network shares about snaketail-net

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Sounds like I'm hit by this error, when using DirectoryInfo.GetFiles:

-correct-number-of-files

Maybe have to consider to use the FileSystemWatcher class, though it also seem 
to have bugs:

Could you try if the attached file SnakeTail.v1.8.2.1.zip solves the problem.

I have added a forced Refresh of the DirectoryInfo object used to list files on 
the network share.

I have tried to use SnakeTail to monitor a network share without the forced 
Refresh, and it had no issue with detecting a new file had arrived (Created the 
file using Remote Desktop and had no open Windows Explorer windows)

Doesn't seem to work right.
Seems to get stuck on 'Loading File'
File size is about 52 MB. So nothing extra big.

Never mind, it just appeared to get stuck. Seems to work :)
Just took some time to get past the 'loading file'

Maybe we should try to use a dedicated thread for monitoring for new files, so 
it doesn't block the entire application.

Could you try if the attached file SnakeTail.v1.8.2.2.zip works without 
blocking ?

The delay will probably still be there, as it still has to wait for the network 
share to be refreshed.

Improved exception handling, when using threads.

yes SnakeTail.v1.8.2.3.zip  worked much better.

It still 'blocks' a little bit when I first opened the session. Perhaps 
unresponsive for like 3 seconds. But aside from the load session bit, there 
isn't any noticeable blocking.

Looks like a very good change to me!

Yes 1.8.2.2 had a "late night blunder" where it performed both synchronous and 
asynchronous refresh of the directory. Now it only performs asynchronous 
refresh.

Also got myself a ThreadPoolQueue, which I can use for executing external tools 
asynchronously, when there is line that matches a keyword. But that is for 
another issue.
