Ever had a file change under you — a git checkout, a quick edit in another app, a script rewriting your .bib — and wondered whether the editor was still showing the truth? texspark now watches your open files and lets you pull the disk version back in on demand.
Reload from disk
- External-change detection. Every open tab is watched. When a file changes on disk outside texspark, the tab gets an orange badge — no surprise auto-reload, just a heads-up that the on-disk copy has moved on.
- Reload on demand. Pull the disk version back in from the new ↻ button in the editor header, or right-click a tab → Reload from Disk. If the tab has unsaved edits, texspark confirms before discarding them.
- Smarter save conflicts. Saving over a file that changed underneath you now always asks first — Overwrite, Discard, Discard & Reload, or Cancel — so another editor’s or git’s changes are never clobbered silently.
- The overwrite-confirmation safeguard is now locked on while texspark is in active development.
