hi all

i cant find the above feature anywhere in laz.
each time i do a "hg up branch_x" or a "hg up default" in mercurial i
get this nasty little dialog asking me if i want to reload the changes
from disk. well, i really do want to reload them, but i don't want to
be asked each time.

because this behaviour is independent from hg, git or any other
software making source changes, i think it would be a great idea to
implement a switch/flag/option in that very dialog which says sth like
"auto reload changed source files from disk".

maybe its not a hell of a feature but the current behaviour is quite
interrupting to my workflow. i think other developers will agree to
that.

hi leledumbo

would you be so kind to do that for me.
i've posted this issue to 4 different fora already and i've no
intention to do a crashcourse in mantis additionally.
thank you.

It's hardly Leledumbo's fault you posted your remarks in fora that
don't matter.

As for getting a mantis crash course: what's so hard about filling out
some fields? If you're too lazy to even file the request, why should
the devs care?

irq, have you tried changing the checkbox setting in the Desktop page
of the IDE Options dialog (Tools -> Options) under Misc Options called
"Check for disk file changes via content rather than timestamp"?

Quotehave you tried changing the checkbox setting in the Desktop page

"Check for disk file changes via content rather than timestamp"?That
wouldn't affect the confirmation dialog, it only changes the way the
IDE detect changes in open source files.
