cannot reproduce: how do I fix auto-read-on-change ??

[DerellLicht1]

Somehow, at some point, I apparently answered a question wrong, and now when I make changes to any Makefile
(by running makedepend outside of RJTE), it does *not* update in RJTE ...
Where do I look for that flag, so I can reset it??

There is no "never" button on the modal that appears after external file change... Are you sure it relates to makefiles only and you have Options > File > Miscellaneous > Warn if document has been changed by external program checked?

[DerellLicht1]

Yep, that option is checked...

There are two files that I typically view in RJTE, but update with external software;
There is Makefile (which is updated by makedepend utility), and _lint.tmp (updated by PcLint)...
I usually get a warning the first time that either of these files is changed, and I always set *Always* for "allow this change"...

Note that RJTE stores this setting, *not only* for filename, but for a particular instance of the file...
So if I say *always* for _lint.tmp in one folder, then run pclint in another folder, I will again get that warning for _lint.tmp, if it is already open in RJTE when it gets updated... so it actually is a *per file* option, not a *per name* option...

As to whether it stopped working for all file types, I'm not sure... I'll have to test on lint again...

Well, I un-checked and re-checked that option in the options dialog, and now both of these files are auto-updated in the editor, so I don't know what was going on...

For now, I'll set this thread to "cannot reproduce"
