Some shell commands won't trigger a DeepGuard dialog

Hi,

I'm using macOS Big Sur beta 9 (20A5384c) and latest version of fs-protection.

These shell commands like "$mv" "$cp", under "Strict" mode DeepGuard still won't pop-up. Here are some screenshots:

$touch command can trigger a DeepGuard dialog, but cp & mv won't, is it by design?

Thanks for making such a nice software & Best regards.

Hello!

Thanks a lot for your report! This is indeed not the intended behavior. It looks like our recent performance adjustments that were primarily targeted on real-time protection (virus protection) feature of FS Protection affected the decision making on DeepGuard side. "cp" and "mv" commands are indeed considered to be safe from virus protection point of view due to other factors that are taken into account. But this should not have affected DeepGuard functionality.

We'll improve this use case in the future releases. Thanks!

Best regards, Arthur
