[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Added option to auto reload files changed on disk (#1246)

[elextr]

@shiftee from time to time all open source projects that are not corporately supported have periods when available resources have a dip.  People can be working on other projects that they didn't think would take anywhere near as long!!! (guilty). People are interrupted by real life (guilty).  People are interrupted by that nearly universal scourge, making a living (most people guilty).

>From discussions on IRC and elsewhere it seems Geany is currently in such a dip, and what resources are available have recently been involved in two releases in quick succession due to an unfortunate bug in the first release.

Although this PR looks ok (what my LGBI "looks good by inspection" means) it needs to be tested fairly well before committing and thats the resource we lack just now. 

If you can get someone else (that its possible to check is reliable, eg by pointing to other projects they contribute to) to test it for unusual cases in a variety of situations, with a variety of filesystems (so it is triggered in a variety of situations, including the dreaded networked file systems like SSHFS) then it should be possible to commit it sooner.
