Chokidar: add event for watching a folder shows all existing files as added

[chrisalb]

I apologise if this is the wrong place to post this question.

When I use "add" event for watching a folder with Chokidar all existing files are listed as added.
My platform is OSX.

Is this the correct behavior?

How can I prevent existing files from being listed and only show files that gets added?

The "change" event works as expected.

var watcher = chokidar.watch('/My/path', {
  ignored: /[\/\\]\./,
  persistent: true
});    

watcher
      .on('change',  function(path) { console.log("File " + path + " has been changed"); })
      .on('add',  function(path) {  console.log("File " + path + " has been added"); });
