[Lexi-developer] Re: Why do lexi editors read/write files asynchronously?

[<gu...@ir...>]

	Hi guys,

	How are you? Well... I'm sorry but I have no good explanation! Maybe it=20
was just for not blocking the editor during reading/writing long files?

	I believe nothing won't break too much if you remove this extra layer=20
of complexity :-)

	Let me know!
	Yann
