You can use vibed:
http://vibed.org/api/vibe.core.file/DirectoryWatcher
Or just vibe-core
https://code.dlang.org/packages/vibe-core
Or
https://code.dlang.org/packages/eventcore

As a bonus you can use it for networking too.

About GUI I do not know what is the best solution. I have some experience
with GTKD, which works well for me.
