Opening a separate bug from a discussion in https://sourceforge.net/p/workingwiki/bugs/231:

I long ago requested that GPF make=true should, after making the file, do make -n without FOREGROUND_ONLY, and display a warning if the file was not "really" up to date. LW was strongly against it, for a reason that I don't recall.

    I don't want to add extra overhead and complexity to every single make call, which there are quite a lot of. We discussed adding a link or button to do this check manually, and I think we were both okay with that. Not sure whether it would be on MP or GPF or what.

    Not MP, I think. Clutter. GPF would be good. Another option would be to make a default target: eg., you could say <project-file filename="model.big.Rout.bgcheck">. I'll probably do that, the next time I wish for it.</project-file>

    Man. It took out my tag, and dropped my ID.

    I tried to say:

    ~~~~~
    <project-file filename="model.big.Rout.bgcheck"></project-file>

    Yeah, I have both those problems a lot.

    What about making a .bgcheck rule, and then making tags like
    \<project-file filename="foo" bgchecklink="foo.bgcheck/">? We could also
    make the link appear automatically for certain file types using the
    existing software.</project-file>
