Answer 1

Absolutely dumb code, works in both linux and windows net core 3.1 and higher.
Change OnChanged where the full name of the file arrives, add your logic.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading;

namespace watcher
{
    internal class Program
    {
       
        private static string _exePath;
        private static int Main(string[] args)
        {
            if (args.Length < 2) return ShowHelp();
            var watchFolder = args[0];
            _exePath = args[1];
            var watcher = new FileSystemWatcher
            {
                Path = watchFolder,
                Filter = "*.*",
                IncludeSubdirectories = true,
                NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess |
                               NotifyFilters.LastWrite |
                               NotifyFilters.FileName |
                               NotifyFilters.DirectoryName,
                EnableRaisingEvents = true
            };
            watcher.Created += OnChanged;

            while (true)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(1000);
            }
        }

        private static int ShowHelp()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("usage: watcher path_to_watch_folder path_to_executable");
            return -1;
        }

        private static void OnChanged(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.FullPath);
            Process.Start(_exePath, e.FullPath);
        }
    }
}

You can write that on anything. But if you ask this question, you should write it in python, not in C++.

A neighboring reply mentions FileSystemWatcher . After all, it was enough to point to the name of the class or function.

And you have to write a program in Python. There is no magic there either.
