[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Close deleted files faster (#1994)

[RalphBike]

When open files are deleted from the filesystem, Geanys behaviour is not very intuitive and somehow contraproductive. It offers to save the file again and does not give me the possibility to close the document.

I suggest to change the dialogue to
"File was not found on the drive. Close the file and discard content?
Yes (Close the tab, do NOT suggest to save it again.)
Yes (Do noting, keep the tab open),

Main use case:
Editing files on a remote server by FTP with Filezilla:
-Several files are stored in a temp folder.
-I can edit them with any editor
-Filezilla tracks changes and lets me update the files after changes
-When I am done, I close Filezilla and the Temp files are deleted by Filezilla.
In that case I want to get rid of the open files quickly and do not want to store them again. Why should I?

Other use case:
editing files that are stored in a cloud and have been deleted in the meantime.

Reference for a better solution:
-Notepad++
