I would say it's work by design. The inodeprint for each file is a
hash of the concatenation of ctime, mtime, mode, inode number, device
number, uid, gid and size. If none of those change and only content,
then inodeprints isn't for you, as your way of changing the files
REQUIRES checking the contents, making inodeprints a moot feature.
Cheers,
Richard
