File "content changed" misbehaving on first check #1579

Description

@WarmUpTill

Created a macro that in theory should only start a recording once the contents of a file is altered within the last few seconds. However running the macro seems to ignore this and recording starts regardless if the file has changed or not. Have also tried doing this with modification date changed.

When starting OBS up, it runs the macro and starts recording when it shouldn't.

I want to be able to have a dynamic text file automatically start a recording but can't seem to get this to work as intended.
