In version 2.0.15 a change was made "When a file is changed outside of BowPad, it is reloaded automatically if the file has no edits in BowPad".
Please make this option user-definable. That is, a setting that allows the user to choose if files will always be auto-reloaded, or if BowPad will always ask.
It's useful to decide if the un-saved version of the file should be used instead of the version modified outside BowPad. (Effectively using BowPad as an "un-do" for the file, if the edit made outside BowPad lacks an un-do feature)
It's also useful to watch the file get re-loaded into BowPad, to see what exactly changed (outside BowPad) since the file was last loaded/saved in BowPad.
The argument could be made that this is a duplicate of issue 62 (https://code.google.com/p/bowpad/issues/detail?id=62) but the changes in version 2.0.15 renders this new-ish enough to warrant re-consideration.

Open the settings file. For portable version it's in the same location as the exe, for installed version it's under %appdata%\bowpad.
under [view], enter

That does exactly what I was asking for. Thank you!
As a side note, is there documentation somewhere describing all the flags/options for that settings file?

Sorry, no. But I guess I'll have to implement some kind of settings dialog for these soon.
I first thought that I could get away without such settings but just use good defaults, but apparently that doesn't work that well...
