gottcode/focuswriter — Issue #50: Word count when using multiple computers

I use two computers and transfer files between them. If I work on Computer A and then send my file, call it File1, to ComputerB, a word count problem arises. (Note that I do not transfer the ~/.config/GottCode files.)
The issue is that on ComputerB, FocusWriter counts the entire length of File1 toward my daily word quota.

I would expect the word quota progress to start at 0 each day, on each computer (since I don't sync the config files). But for some reason, it seems that if File1 has been modified externally, FocusWriter doesn't give me incremental credit; it starts with applying the whole FileA towards the daily quota.

I dug around in the code but got confused in the updateWordCount function, so I'm not yet able to suggest a solution :(
