Reload file dialog not appears

[Lukasz Indeka]

Hi,

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any file.
2. Change the file outside the PL/SQL Developer.
3. Go back to the PL/SQL window.

Results:
In PL/SQL Developer 15, for any external change of the already opened file, a message box asking for reload of the file appears. In the 16th version - dialog doesn't appear.

My change operation was a branch switch in the git Bash command line window.

This seems to work fine for me. Is the file located on a local drive or on a network drive or share?

 

[Lukasz Indeka]

It's a local drive, but not the same partition as the Windows or PL/SQL Developer. It is actually the second HDD drive. The system is on smaller SSD.

It looks like the problem is with the drive speed. Sometimes it works with quite a long lag. Sometimes it doesn't work at all. It's strange, that it worked perfectly with the same setup in v15.

The file timestamp is checked when PL/SQL Developer gets the focus again, and also when you change to a different window within PL/SQL Developer. There should not be any delay.
