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 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.
