Feature: 10x should reload file if changed outside 10x #2566

I noticed that file contents did not update when I changed file outside 10x and then switched focus back to 10x pane where the file was opened. There is a reload functionality in modern editors, which allows this workflow.

I copied the file from a backup outside 10x while the file was opened, but when switched to 10x and saved the file then the changes were effectively lost.

10x does detect file changes using a directory watcher. When the file is changed is the last write time being changed in the file properties?

If you have made changes to the file and the file is also modified externally 10x should bring up a message box asking which changes you want to keep.

Let me know if you find a way to repro the problem, as it all seems to be working as expected here.
