Title: File Reload
Post by: earlgrey on September 07, 2014, 06:16:20 pm

In the case of generated files within a C::B project,  it takes a certain amount of time to C::B to detect that the file changed.

Is it possible to implement a "reload" option somewhere ? ( in the OpenFilesList plugin for example, or under the "projects" tab )

Regards -

( It is just a suggestion, not an order , neither a request )

If on Windows you might try seeing if the Plugin modpoller helps you.
Note: IIRC, You have to compile it yourself.

If not on Windows, you might see if the Plugin modpoller can be ported to your OS without a lot of work.

The reload happens when the application receives an activation event so try alt-tabbing...

Solution is in EditorBase, adding a "reload" item to the context menu when the wxPoint is inside the OpenFilesList plugin.

Are you interested ?

Calling Manager::Get()->GetEditorManager()->CheckForExternallyModifiedFiles() should do what you want.
