That seems sensible to me. > 2) the solution 1 fixes my problem, but probably not (?) for somebody > that was annoyed by this dialog like Jiří was. So, perhaps a... setting > (!) would be useful? Yep, and 'Always prompt on reload' option might be useful. On a related note, I'm working on an LLVM backend for a compiler and quote often I with have the generated LLVM code in a tab to check how my code generation is going. Once loaded, I never change it, however when the code changes on disk, I would like the tab to automatically reload the version on disk. I was thinking for this case, it the file has no changes, is marked as read-only in geany, it would be sensible to automatically reload it when in changes on disk. Does that sound sane to people? Another alternative would be to have a mode that is like the current read-only mode, but is called view mode that is like a read only mode but with automatic reload from disk. Thoughts?
