But note that this is merely a quick fix for the "I have screwed up" case. We do not recommend using it as part of your regular process. >> * If the source file is modified, but the target file has a newer date >> (e.g. pbuilder was invoked from the shell), it is still regenerated. > > Probably because the target file path in your output artifact is never > generated.

I think what Orgad meant is that -- much like in the scenario above -- he updates the output file outside of qbs. So the same answer would apply here.
