Disabling Changed File Check on Alt-Tab/Change of Program focus
Submitted by Aristoi on Tuesday, 19 December, 2006 - 21:30
I am using jEdit 4.3pre3 on Windows XP.

When I switch to another application, and back to jEdit, there is a significant lag while the Samba share refreshes. I assume that jEdit is checking to be sure the file contents have not changed. I have set the global option "If files are changed on disk" to "do nothing" but it still seems to be checking. The 5 second lag is rather maddening, and I would like to know if there is any way to disable this file check entirely.

Thank you in advance to anyone who has any kind of solution!

I tried it with jEdit 4.3pre9 on Windows XP with option "If files are changed on disk" = "do nothing":

- opened a LOCAL file in jedit, saved the file
- opened the same file in another editor, changed content, saved the file
- switched back to jedit - the changes are not applied.

jEdit really "does nothing", if the file is changed. But may be, he (jEdit) first want to know if files are changed anyway Eye-wink.
