GetPaths function to read out all watched paths.

[chamabreu]

I need to get the paths, which are watched by the fsNotify.Watcher.
Because there is no .removeAll() function, I need to iterate over all watched Paths to then decide which Paths I want to remove.

A Solution like .getAllWatchedPaths() to get the Path map/array.

Target is, that I want to "Clear out" the Watcher, without closing and recreating it.
I need just One single Instance to work with, and want more possibilities to manipulate, like .removeAll() , .getAllPaths() , .addMultiplePaths() etc...

What is your use case for this? If you added paths to a watcher, then it seems to me you already know which paths you're watching and can keep track of them for removal? Alternatively, you can close the watcher and create a new one to "clear" it (you mentioned you don't want to do that, but it's not clear to me why).

Also: looks like there's an issue for this already: #93 So I'll close this as a duplicate of that one.

Still, it's important that people provide actual use cases. Otherwise it's not clear if a "list all watched paths" is even the best solution; maybe it is, or maybe there's a better solution to address the use case. So I would encourage you to still post it.

Yes.
My usecase was solved with #374

Thanks
