I assume the file you're referring to is a log-file.  Yes, I changed 
the behaviour slightly. Logfiles will only show up in the "files"
column if there is any kind of check defined for them (size, owner,
modification time ...) Otherwise, they would tend to clutter the 
"files" display even though they could never cause any kind of status
change in that column.
