If a user creates a file in workdir without going through the dokan drive, we could detect that change and warn about it or transfer it into dokan directly.

Transfer please! Missing this quite a bit when using it for development.

Usually you should be doing the editing on the dokan drive, not in your workfolder. That way dokan will see all the changes. Thats why this is kinda low priority, because there is a workaround that works just fine already.

You mean the mounted Dokan drive or the folder Dokan uses (-w <folder>)? Latter is doable, former not in my case, I edit on my host machine and run Arma in a VM - there is no Dokan mounted drive on the host.

When you mount -w to P: the folder is mirrored on P: If you make changes in you won't see them on P:, but if you make changes on P: they will be cloned into . So i you want to edit files, just open the same file on P:, instead of working directly in

As I've said, not possible for my workflow.
