option to disable "Files Changed on Disk" dialog - add icon to buffer tabs instead
Submitted by paulflory on Tuesday, 29 June, 2004 - 15:13
I often use jEdit to effectively "tail" log files that are active and changing periodically while editing other files.

Unfortunately, the dialog "Files Changed on Disk" pops open repeatedly and has become an annoyance, although the information is certainly helpful.

It would be wonderful if there was an option to disable this dialog.

Furthermore, it would be even better if we had an appropriate icon appear on the respective buffer tab indicating that the file changed. That way we could see at a glance which files have changed on disk and continue editing files at the same time.

Anyone else second this request? Alternatives?

Thanks,
Paul

I would very much like to see this be made possible! An icon or a status message (maybe in some other color) would be perfect to indicate this. The icon could be made clickable to display the dialog that is shown now.
Agreed

Yeah - this is a serious pain in the tail.
Use a plugin instead

Hi

You could just use the LogViewer plugin to tail your log files.

Cheers

plugins too weak, compared to jEdit buffers

Yeah, I know, but I prefer using the regular jEdit buffers over the log viewer because I can run my own macros, key shortcuts, etc. In a nutshell, regular buffers offer more functionality.

The request still holds.
