"This file has been modified by another program"
-
Hi friends,
Since few days, I get near from always, this message, with files hosted on a Debian 11 server with Samba shares.
Steps :
Load a file and make a modification
Save the file
Focus on another app
Focus back to Notepad++The message appears and ask if I want to reload the file.
Several times, I also get it without doing any modification.
Uninstalled NP++ and discarded preferences, reinstalled the last version (8.5.5), and the problem still there.
My server and my computer has the samed date and time.
I don’t know where to search to kick this problem, this makes me really crazy :(
If someone has an idea :)
Thanks !
Couin

The modtime synchronization issue has come up so often that a logging mechanism was added in version 8.1.9.3 (not a typo; it was released as “revision number 3”).
Looks like the original commit message is still the only documentation on how to configure the
nppLogNetworkDriveIssue.xml
file, but that’s where I would start. -
@rdipardo said in “This file has been modified by another program”:
still the only documentation
Sorry, I didn’t know about that flag-file.
I just created an issue and will add the notes from that commit message to the User Manual, so it will be described in the next release of the Online User Manual.
