Description Petr Slegr 2001-10-24 12:04:19 UTC 
[dev-10/24/01]

Bad behaviour after file external deletion.

1. Open a file into editor and modify it (DO NOT SAVE).
2. Delete it from the OS.
3. Then dialog "File <name> is modified. Save it?" will appear (the same one as 
when editor with modified file is to be closed).
4. If you will choose Save or Discard the editor will be closed. Note that for 
Save data will be saved indeed, fortunately. But the dialog's message is 
misleading. Also afer Save the editor shouldn't be closed.

I suggest better message like "File was externally deleted. Do you want keep 
it?".

Comment 1 Peter Zavadsky 2001-10-24 12:57:29 UTC 
Changing to enhancement, changing description and decreasing priority.

Reasons:
The current behaviour is already long-term and therefore I think can't
be considered as a bug, i.e. the support was not designed to
differenciate between external change and deletion.

The solution needs to be reconsidered, some design changes will be
probably necessary.
