Package: bless Version: 0.6.0-5.1 Severity: important I opened a file in bless, from Nautilus file manager.
I just wanted to view it to find out if I needed it for anything. A message said, file on disk has changed, with two buttons: ignore reload and a warning, "reload is the only safe option". The buttons were nonresponsive. The program would not close. I expected the program would at least close, making no changes. kill proved ineffective, but I only tried the default signal. Scrolling to the top of the file made the ignore/reload buttons active. Choosing one made the message and buttons disappear. The program could then be closed. No other program works this way. It is not intuitive that scrolling to the top of an open file does not logically relate to closing an application. I also don't know why the message 'file on disk has changed' appeared in the first place. None of this is particularly disturbing. But the documentation is a bit lacking in how bless handles files. Without knowing that, it's impossible to ever figure this stuff out. I mean everything in the nicest possible way.
