Whenever I open my project, the home page appears as changed. I export the project (Shift-CMD-K), close it, and reopen it. And again, the home page appears as changed.

I have noticed this happening as well, since the latest release 1.0.8 (and possibly 1.0.7?). 🤔

I’ve just tested this and am not seeing this issue here. I’m wondering what you have on your homepage, is there a component (perhaps a custom one) that might trigger a change?

And this video proves… that you uploaded your website to the server. I expected to see how your homepage appears changed after export - close - open again.

@dan I see this problem on all of my projects. Whenever I open a project it is immediately marked as “dirty”.

The website hasn’t been changed, of course; it’s just marked as changed, and I wanted to show which files are being uploaded because they’ve been changed.

By the way: @dan @ben There are the `image-square`` files that are always stored in the `/file/``` directory, which I don’t need. Could that have something to do with it?

My Startpage is a copy of a subpage. Only the startpage is marked as changed.
