Description

WatcherScanner has a Watcher (called ScannerWatcher ) which will fill a set with all files that have been changed, so that it then can iterate over that.
however the set will never be cleaned, which leads to the problem that removed entries will be "removed" over and over again. ultimately bringing the system to a halt because it is busy removing stuff
