13,772 PointsSass --watch not working
I'm running windows 7, installed ruby and sass. Following the video instructions on sass everything worked except for when I get up to watching a sass file. Console states that the directory is being watched but any modification i do to the scss file doesn't give a 'file has been updated' msg in the console & the css file created by --watch isn't updated to reflect the changes. Following posts on the forum I installed ruby dev kit and installed wdm (& restarted windows) but still nothing changed.

13,772 Pointsthat's not true. I get an update msg through the console as long as I'm not using the desktop at the directory I'm watching. I should have deleted this post.
