hat makes the breadcrumbs transient, and you must not use transient attributes or behavior as (parts of) persistent identifiers, like URIs.

Thanks. I added some more about the filtering.

I didn’t know that about Excel, thanks for pointing it out.

I like it! I thought wrote a similar article before. It should be worth noting that you can use the Filter property to define a single file to watch.

As an aside, one important thing I learned is that Excel totally hides from the Changed event and instead makes use of Renamed when you save a file. (Plus opens the file without sharing, but that’s a whole other story.)
