Definitely nobody else making changes. This is a micro network of just
two of us plus the server.

Just happened again. I opened an older BBEdit project and BBE updated
it to a ".bbprojectd" file. Then about 5 seconds later, up pops this
warning that the file may have been changed on disk by another
application. My options are "Cancel" and "Save Anyway". I'm not
actually "saving" anything - the project is updated, no files are
open. Clicking Cancel just makes the dialog pop up again.

I hit Cancel then closed it before the dialog had a chance to
reappear. Then reopened. Seems ok for the moment.

But this frequently happens after doing a "save as" with a new name.
Could something in the OS be modifying the files after I save them?
