Dear all, Currently Geany will pop-up a dialogue: "The file 'gWidgets2-filter.R' on the disk is more recent than the current buffer.
Do you want to reload it?"
when the same file has been modified externally. When working on a file using two different editors at the same time (and saving frequently), the workflow would be nicer if the file were automatically reloaded from disk upon external modification.
Tow editors on the same file!! Here lies madness ;)
Well, maybe, but I take full responsibility for my own stupidity: I just want the workflow to be useful. Here's my personal reason for doing that: http://wiki.geany.org/howtos/using_geany_with_r#combining_geany_with_rstudio .
Is there some hidden option that allows to achieve this?
No, but if you want to do it manually you can disable checking by setting the timeout in prefs to zero.
Is it worth filing a feature request on Github for disabling the confirmation dialogue (via a hidden option)? I quite like the automatic reload, which is very useful, and I wouldn't want to have to do it manually all the time.
FYI, the next version of Geany doesn't use a modal dialog anymore, it uses a message inside the document tab, which is somewhat less annoying, even if it still doesn't reload automatically.
