Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: 30.0.5

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Right now creating a blank file, that is literally 0 bytes, triggers both postCreate and postWrite events.
This makes postCreate event less useful, because if you wanted to take action on both new and changed files, you could just select\write into your program both event types.

But if you want to take 1 type of action on newly created files, and another type of action on changed files, it is impossible to do so.

Describe the solution you'd like
Trigger postWrite only on changing an existing file

Describe alternatives you've considered
Is this a problem with Workflow Script or the underlying Nextcloud API? I can't tell. But this change would make automation with Nextcloud far more flexible.

Start by tracing how workflow_script handles the postCreate and postWrite events, then determine whether the behavior comes from the app or the underlying Nextcloud API. Done means creating a blank file triggers only postCreate, while writing to an existing file triggers postWrite.
