automatic compilation of all files

[macJames976]

Sorry but, I have a strange problem: even with the live compilation "off" whenever I edit a file, the compilation of all .scss sources starts. How is it possible? It is annoying and inappropriate. Is it my mistake?

Very strange, definitely shouldn't be compiling everything if it's off.

Do you have any other extensions installed that compile sass?

Can you add a screenshot showing the output window?

Hi, thank you for your response. No, i dont have other sass compiler installed in my VSC. When i click on "watch sass" the status change in "working on it" for a few minutes. After this time, in output console, i see every scss file fetched for compilation. Result: all file are compiled. This can rappresent a issue.

I attach the console output.

Hi @macJames976,

Thanks for the extra information. By default all suitable files are compiled as soon as you click Watch Sass.

There are a couple of thing I'm working on in my fork (before submitting a PR).

• First is adding a setting to disable compiling files on first watch. Although processing all files will remain default, there's an apparent need for this setting.
• Secondly is some performance issues that I'm looking into.

In the mean time I'd suggest adding the vendor folder to your list of excluded files, as these don't seem necessary (possibly just partials that you're importing?); the glob pattern would be "**/vendor/**". Reducing the quantity of processed files should speed up the initial watch.
