schrott, ich bekomme immer eine meldung, dass sich was geändert hat, hat sich aber nicht. daher ist dieses plugin für mich nutzlos. wäre sinnvoller man könnte etwas markieren zum überwachen, wenn sich was ändert. mir bringt das plugin so nichts. weil ich bei jedem aktualisieren eine meldung bekomme.
