Description

Coping resources during incremental build on big projects affects performance dramatically.
It should be an option to stop coping filtered resources when the source is not newer than the target, just like in case of resources that were not filtered.

Another alternative is to create a signature for both timestamp and the filtering properties (e.g., create sha1 from heir string representation). then put a file with this signature in the target folder. on build, if the signature is different, re-run copy&filter and update the signature.
