Problem updating changes to a file in BufferTab mode

Submitted by tj_sony on Thursday, 3 April, 2008 - 05:41

I have two buffertabs 123.xml and 123.tex. Through some internal processing when I do some changes to 123.xml it gets reflected in 123.tex. But the following pop up menu comes only when I go to some other window and come back.

Files Changed on Disk
The following files were changed on disk by another program:
Automatically reloaded:
C:\123.tex

My problem is why I need to go to someother window and come back to see the above pop up and also for the 123.tex file to get updated.

I am using jEdit 4.3pre9. Please do tell me, how do I solve the above problem with this JEdit version.

re-load

To do this check automatically, there is no way other than update to jEdit 4.3pre14 when it will be released the next weeks.

Of course You can manually re-load the buffer (File->Reload).

Thanks a lot Robert. You were of great help.

Global Option

If You are using jEdit 4.3pre10 or higher You should have a look at "Utilities->Global Options->General->Check for file change upon:".

There You can choose one of five events that jEdit has to check for changed files upon.
