- Here's a copy of a bug report I've just sent to bugs@borland.com:
-
- In the BP 7 IDE, if you load a file and it gets changed by some other agent
- before you exit, you get a warning dialog coming up. It asks whether
- you'd like to reload from disk or not.
-
- The bug is the following. Even though you're presented with 3 choices,
- Reload Yes, Reload No, or Cancel, they all do exactly the same thing.
- They all lose whatever you've got in the editor, and keep what's on
- disk.
-
- For example:
- 1. Load any program, turn on the map file linker option, compile
- 2. Load the map file into an edit window. Make some changes that
- you can identify later. Use F2 to save the file.
- 3. Compile again, and you get a new copy of the map on disk.
- 4. Type Alt-X and you get the warning dialog. No matter what you
- type, the changes you entered in step 2 will be lost.
-
- At the very least, Cancel should stop the shutdown. The dialog should
- say something a little more informative than "File TEST.MAP's time/date has
- changed. Reload from disk?". It should give you a choice between
- keeping the version you can see and the one that's been created on the
- disk.
