That's one feature that I really want to see implemented! Reloading files at the moment they're changed can be annoying, opening the file again when I want to check if something changed isn't a nice solution either. How about having a button or a shortcut to do that? Or even better, prompt to reload the page if it has changed and I leave the application and go back to it again. In that case, I won't be distructed while i'm looking at it every time the file changes and it can happen quite a lot if you're looking at logs.

If anyone knows how to do it with current release please let me know!

thanks

I would also like to put my name in the hat for this one.

Does File | Revert do what you want?

not really. I'm talking about delaying reloading of the file, not about going back to what it was originally. If needed I can usually get there with ctr+Z 's, textpad remembers quite a lot!

File | Revert does not undo your editing actions; it reloads the file from disk. So if another application has changed the file, File | Revert loads the changed version. I understood this as being one of the two things you were requesting.

I don't know how I overlooked that one, it does exactly what I need! thanks a lot. I can even record it as a macro!

Is there a way to assign a shortcut to it? sorry if it's something obvious to everyone else in here...
thanks in advance
