It also displays really badly on my machine, but maybe that's because I have a super-wide screen. > To me, I think the way it should work is pop up a dialog saying the file > has change and to "Reload?" when changed or "Remove from Editor?" when > deleted only when you go to the tab the file has changed on. > You could alert the user that the file had changed on disk by putting a small (temporary) icon on the tab itself, or change the font color. That way the user could easily see that the file had changed on disk even if they are working on a different file. Then, they could click on the tab of the changed file and get the dialog. Also, I think the dialog should have multiple buttons: [&Reload], [Reload &All], [&Ignore], and [A&dvanced], where the Advanced button would bring up the current "File has changed" box. Ditto that for deleted files, though deleted vs changed on disk should operate separately. Not that I have any tuits for such work. Just ideas.

Sometimes I have a log file open and getting automatically switched to the log file every few seconds would become irritating. For me, this is a case of "The IDE shouldn't bug me unless I ask it to bug me." David -- Sent via my carrier pigeon.
