..to update a sourcecode / reload from disk (to discard changes is to be confirmed by the user).

Yep, good idea, though I'd call it 'Revert'

I'd also like to see it keep a watch on the files for any external changes and prompt you whether you wanted to reload the file or not.

Possibly also have an option to configure this (prompt or always reload).

But that's not what it does.

Revert = discard changes since last save
Reload = discard changes and load from disk

The difference becomes apparent when you remember that other programs can change the file.

Note that 'revert' doesn't help much if you do a compile... as the source is overwritten (which is why I keep numbered backups).

@blueznl: You can disable "Save before compile" and therefore don't need any "Revert" option.

Well, I wasn't asking for a revert option, was I?

That comment implies that he's not looking for revert, not that that he's looking for it.

In fact, I don't WANT a revert, as I don't NEED it. It may be helpful to others though.

You mean RELOAD!
