	});
	watcher.on('finished', () => {
    		// Watcher has read through the max files allowed, won't emit again until another entry
    		// Now would be a good time to load the data, if you are doing something like elite-journal.

	watcher.on('data', obs => {
		// Emitted for each file in max files allowed.
		obs.forEach(ob => {
