File changed

[Patrick Wolf]

Hi,

if a file is opend in PL/SQL Developer and changed by an external editor, PL/SQL Developer recognize that with the "timestamp has changed." dialog.

But it doesn't recognize it if just the "read-only" flag is removed. (UlraEdit is able to detect that).

Background about this request: The source version control system we use marks the files which are not "reserved" by the user with the "read-only" flag. If i'm doing some investigation and open several files and notice that there is a problem in on of the packages, I just want to reserve the file without having to reopen it again in PL/SQL developer.

Thanks
Patrick

Just noticed another case when the "timestamp has changed" doesn't show up.

1) Open a file
2) change it and save it
3) Restore the the original version (most version control systems allow you to "revert"/"unedit" your change => this will restore the file with the original timestamp)

=> PL/SQL Developer doesn't show the change dialog. Seems that it just does a check for a newer timestamp.

Regards
Patrick

PL/SQL Developer does indeed check for newer files. I have added both suggestions to the list of enhancement requests.
