Hi All,
Since there's some discussion about infobar behaviour, I thought I'd mention a couple things I've noticed using it in my day-to-day workflow.
When you delete a file from disk, and then assuming the infobar kicked in (see below), it pops up the infobar as expected. The problem is that there's no quick way to say "Ya, ya, I deleted that on purpose, just close the file". IMO, there should be a "Close" button on the infobar that allows you to bypass the redundant dialog that pops up when trying to close a document that you've been notified about, for example:
----------------------------------------------------------------- File "foo.txt" was not found on disk [Resave][Dismiss][Close] <Some different message here> -----------------------------------------------------------------
Clicking the proposed [Close] button would have the same effect as what currently requires two steps; clicking the tab close button or Close menu item and then clicking the "Don't Save" button in the dialog that pops up.
Does that sound reasonable?
The other thing I wondered is, should we not do a "disk check" on a file that hasn't been switched to when it's being closed? I mean we do the check and show the infobar on tab-switch (due to lacking proper/usable inotify support), but if the user doesn't actually switch to the tab, then we just close the file without any warning that the buffer in that document has no disk file anymore and closing it will lose those contents forever.
Thoughts?
Cheers, Matthew Brush
