<p>in some cases, Geany doesn't detect file has been overwritten. If a file with the same name is (intentionally) copied from a different directory, Geany doesn't detect the file has changed.</p>
<p>This does not reproduce when the file is copied using <code>cp</code>. I've only tested with the 2 file managers listed below.</p>
<ul>
<li>To reproduce</li>
</ul>
<p>Reproduces every time using Thunar 1.8.4 and PCMan 1.3.1</p>
<p>echo file1 > ./file1<br>
mkdir tempdir<br>
echo file2 > tempdir/file1</p>
<p>Open ./file1 in Geany<br>
Use Thunar or PCMan to copy tempdir/file1 to ./file1<br>
Switch back to Geany (note there will be no reload option).</p>
