Research direction

No implementation files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the refresh-trigger handling in xrefresh and determine how it identifies the edited resource and current page dependencies; done means unrelated JavaScript and PHP edits no longer cause unnecessary full-page refreshes without breaking needed refreshes.

Description

idea

Great plugin!

Is there a way to avoid refresh when I save a file not connected with the current page?
If I edit a js not included in the current page, why reload the page?
If I edit a php that respond to an ajax call, why reload the whole page?

I know that there are problems with mod_rewrite structure and so on, but would be great for some environments:D

Tkz a lot!
