Reload request after save is annoying.
-
Hi,
after I save changes to the disk file, I often get the message “File has changed on disk, reload?”Nobody has changed the file. However, as this problem only occurs on remote drives (here: OpenAFS), I guess that Notepad++ records the last-modification date, which is then slightly changed by the file system.
So I would change the behaviour:
For the save, record a file hash value for that saved file, and attach it to the open file (as done with the timestamp I guess).
In case of detecting such a timestamp(?) change, rehash entire file content and compare with recorded file hash value.
If equal, ignore the falsy-detected change (i.e. no MessageBox),
otherwise, there was very probably an external change.See this as a bug report, as this annoying MessageBox may occur anytime while editing, and quite often I lost my last changes by hitting Enter key (while typing), and there is no Undo for that case!

Bug reports are not seen here.
See the FAQ for how to file a real bug report.
However, I’m sure this is an already-known issue.
