Changes Detected does not seem to work properly

[Guest]

Hi,

When I create a profile that is supposed to run upon "Changes Detected" (vvengine), it runs continuously (one run ends, the next one starts immediately), even though when I look at the log file, it says that source and target are identical, and no files were copied or deleted.
Here is the log file extract:

Hello

could this be due to changes to excluded files?

thanks

I am not sure I understand - if a file is excluded, why would changing it trigger the run?

Hello

The "exclude/include filters" are effective in ViceVersa but not in VVEngine for the change detection part. It's a needed improvement for VVEngine.

thanks
