I am using Notepad++ with multiple files open for long times. Most of my files are being modified by external sources. I think the File Status auto-detection is nice but I would love to have the following option:
The message box asking confirmation for reload of changed file should only be triggered when that file is the current file.
When many files are being changed externally and you are temporarily working on one or more 'static' files, it is being a pain to say yes or no to those messagebox every time you get back to Notepad++.
---
Advanced feature:
One can think that one day such settings like file status auto-detection could be specified on a file basis, so that it is possible to turn it off for some files, turn it on with silent update for some them, etc. The status of such options could be annotated with some icons in the filenames tab.
I hope this thread is not a duplicate. I could not find a similar one in my short search.
Thanks...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Actually, yes, that is what I meant. None of these threads talk about "limiting the auto reload to current document only", I do not want to be probed for those files I am not interested within my context.
Maybe I should have opened this thread as a feature request...
