digitalmars.D - Dsss-annoying feature

DSSS is looking pretty good as a builder but one thing that wastes my time is
if it hangs up somewhere building a list of say 30 files I go back fix the
problem and then issue build again .
Dsss then instantly wipes what has been compiled already and starts again !

Is there a way to make it ignore work already done if you want it to ?

If you give it the -full (or is it -clean, check the docs) flag it will wipe 
out the work already done. If not, it should notice that the file are up 
to date and not re-build them. I'm not clear from your question which you 
want. If that doesn't help, I'd need more details to be of more help. OTOH 
I use bud or shell scripts and haven't touched dsss an months so that might 
be out of date.

Simply put, this is completely and totally incorrect. It is in fact the 
opposite of the truth.

OK so mine IS doing this, which apparently it should not 
I have been building dwt-examples  and I have watched it start again 4 times so
far today,
It has done so since I started that's why its an annoying feature . Perhaps
something happened in the latest updates?
then I remade the dsss.conf file and deleted what had been already compiled and
used that to avoid the issue.

Perhaps the confusion is in the fact that DSSS does in fact issue 
rebuild commands every time. rebuild itself does not build anything 
that's already been built.
