    Will you implement file renamed notification in N++?

    When a file has changed outside N++, or has been deleted, N++ asks you for an "update" action.

    Will this also be implemented for files that are open in N++ and are renamed outside N++?

      Yeah, right...

      When I rename a file outside NP++, NP++ simply says the file doesn't exist anymore and asks if I want to keep the file in the editor...

      Of course, the file STILL exists, it just has got another name.
      I would like NP++ to recognize this and ask if the file is to be renamed in NP++, too.

      If I would choose not to rename the file, it should be marked somewhere simply as a new file or a file that has changes and still has to be saved, even if the file itself may not have changed since it was opened.

      Can you clarify what you mean ?
      In NP++, a file that is deleted, or renamed, gives a message to that effect, asking
      if you want to keep the editor copy.

      In fact, it asks you that EVERY time you switch to NP++, which could be an
      overkill/annoying in some situations
