Attribute modifications #231

Open gnpan opened 5 years ago

Is there any way to avoid attribute modifications being monitored? The Updated event flag seems to include them, which is not really necessary since an AttributeModified flag is available.

you can't filter out specific event types, but you can specify what event types you are interested in. It's not as convenient as as an exclusion filter, but it's as close as you can get with the current implementation.
