IDE - Additional option for reloading changed files

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

IDE - Additional option for reloading changed files

Post by Little John »

Hi,

since PB 4.60, there is the option "Monitor open files for changes on disk":

That's very useful, thanks for that!

When the IDE has detected a change, it always asks the user:

Personally, I always want the changed file to be reloaded. So it would be very convenient for me, if the IDE would do that automatically, without asking me. In order to make this possible, I would like to have an additional option in the preferences:

For instance, the editor UltraEdit does have exactly this option, which has shown itself to be useful.

This would be a nice option. Sometimes there are reasons to edit files outside of the IDE, and switching back and forth results in lots of confirmations popping up.

I know it's a few year old but it still would be nice

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.
