Do you want the document selector to show files modified on disk by another process

Not useful to me, don't mind if it does, but it could be optional

Document Selector

Post by BaronVonWill »

I couldn't find this one: it would be nice if, when a file being edited has been changed on disk by another application (modified by another process), that it would be highlighted in the document selector. This could perhaps be by colour, so the file name would go green if the edited version is not different from what was loaded from disk when it was first opened, and red if it has (indicating potential clash with different edits to that in the changed disk version).

I dont use a feature like that much, but occasionally I would like notification if another process has modified a file, that would save several window traversals in about 5-20 % of editing sessions.
The only dumb question is one you should have asked and didn't.
