Hey Nick, I’m really glad you like elm-live. Thanks for reporting this!

I’m pretty surprised this happens, because elm-live is designed to only watch *.elm files. If you can hack together a quick solution to your problem, I’ll be happy to help you turn it into a well-tested PR.

Also, it’d be good if you keep an eye on #72 – we’ll probably be working on the watch glob soon. If you find anything suspicious, it’d be good to batch it with our work there.
