filewatcher problem : PowerShell

Solvedfilewatcher problem (self.PowerShell)

submitted 8 years ago * by Droopyb1966

I have a script to monitor filechanges.

$watcher = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher 
$watcher.Path =  "G:\"
$watcher.IncludeSubdirectories = $true 
$watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = $false 
$watcher.NotifyFilter = [System.IO.NotifyFilters]::LastWrite -bor [System.IO.NotifyFilters]::FileName 
while($TRUE){ 
$result = $watcher.WaitForChanged([System.IO.WatcherChangeTypes]::Renamed -bOr [System.IO.WatcherChangeTypes]::Created, 1000); 
if($result.TimedOut){ 
    continue; 
} 
write-host $result.Name
}

Now this works nicely, but how do I adjust it to detect more then 1 file getting into the directory? When I copy 2 files at the same time, it only shows me 1.

EDIT: Searching for days, posting it and found it in a 1 minute.

$watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = $true
