Here I quote the docs for wxFileSystemWatcher
NoteImplementation limitations: this class is currently implemented
for MSW, macOS and GTK ports but doesn't detect all changes correctly
everywhere: under MSW accessing the file is not detected (only
modifying it is) and under macOS neither accessing nor modifying is
detected (only creating and deleting files is).

As you can see, file modification in MacOS does not get detected. So
it makes it not so useful on MacOS than it is in Windows and Linux. It
have been that way for years (I guess no one have stepped up, which is
OK, being open source)

Sure, I will find time in the future to give it a shot, if nobody does it yet

Thanks for responding!
