File Status Auto-Detection did not notice a change (NPP 8.4.2)
-
File Status Auto-Detection has always worked fine for me. (Preferences -> Misc: File Status Auto-Detection: Enabled).
This morning I unlocked my workstation and switched to the already-open NPP which was already showing a tab containing a file which I had updated last night on another computer. NPP was showing an out-of-date version of the content of that file.
When I exited NPP and restarted it (I have it set to re-open all previously open files on startup) it loaded the correct, up-to-date content of that file. n.b. The ask-to-reload-file-the-user-is-asking-to-close behavior did NOT happen. NPP closed silently.
So, the underlying file system (OneDrive) had updated the file, and NPP hadn’t noticed.
My workstation had not been in sleep mode; that is, it was powered on, logged in, and screen locked, throughout.
I know this isn’t much information on which to make a diagnosis; and this is the only (first?) time I’ve noticed this.
I’m posting this more in case someone else may have noticed this (with 8.4.2), or I’ve missed a FAQ/ old forum thread (I looked, I didn’t see something that seemed to apply).Hm. This might be:

?So, either just FYI, or/and any suggestions appreciated.
thanks,

Most likely. The best plan is to watch for a fix there, and when it is fixed, see if it fixes your problem as well.
