I am using Sass 3.2.1 (Media Mark), and used “–watch main.scss:main.css –style compact
” for example, to output my css in that particular style. It appears the style changes will take effect ONLY after I trash the css file and open it.

If I return to the scss file and save it, the css returns to the default scss.
Shouldn’t “–watch main.scss:main.css –style compact” make the output compact until i change it to –expanded, –compressed???

    Sass won’t recompile the CSS unless there is a change to your Sass files, even if you’ve switched your compression type.

    Personally, I just have 2 different watches that output to 2 different directories. The watch with compact is always running and outputs to my “production” directory that is in CVS. The second watch using expanded is only running when I need to debug and it outputs to a directory that’s set to be ignored by CVS. This way, there’s no accidentally committing the uncompressed version.
