Hi,
This came up on thread "[Geany-devel] Safe file saving - permissions issue" but isn't actually a problem with the filesystem, its just exposed by filesystem problems.
When a file goes missing and the user does not choose to save or close it, if it is reloaded after the file reappears, Geany still asks for a save as when it only needs to save.
The save as dialog is a problem for users on slow network filesystems as it queries all the files in the directory (if the directories are so large they should have been broken up :). Of course users on slow network connections are also the most likely to have files go missing.
Attached patch (against r4917) re-sets the real_path of the file on reloads, has been running for me all day with no issues but I only have local filesystems @Jon can you test?
Cheers Lex
