I understood the requirement is to add a "reload all" button to the annoying existing dialog that pops up when files change on disk. So the user only sees it once if they press reload all. That would be hard to do in a plugin as I understand it.
Nick I agree with your limitation to saved files, what are you going to do to inform the user when several unsaved files change under them? If there is more than one such file I am likely to forget which ones I have to save under a different name until I check any conflicts. Maybe a list in a modeless dialog box so it can hang around, and the ultimate would be for Geany to change the list in the dialog as the conflict between unsaved and modified files goes away. ;-)
Cheers Lex

Thats a good idea.
- It could be optimised to only reload files that have the
timestamp changed on disk.
Yes, only the timestamp. The file size must be ignored.
I agree with mentioned above points. Just curious: Could this be done as part of the addons plugin?
Thanks, Frank
