If a file open in geany is modified by another program, and geany is then brought to the front, then geany displays a modal dialog as follows.
The file 'stuff.txt' on the disk is more recent than
the current buffer.
Do you want to reload it?
This dialog is displayed, blocking any sort of work flow if files are continually regenerated by running command-line tools. How can this behavior be changed so that the dialog does not appear, and geany automatically reloads any such file?
Open geany.conf in a different editor and set reload_clean_doc_on_file_change=true
Close Geany (else your changes will be overwritten), then open geany.conf in a different editor. Find disk_check_timeout and set it to 0. Save that, and reopen Geany.
