Title: What causes: "The following file will always be skipped by auto reload..."
Post by: pmsteinm on September 23, 2011, 01:53:49 pm

I've seen this a few times in my Windows 7 and Linux VS16 sessions:
"The following file will always be skipped by auto reload and auto readonly:"
It shows up in the notification area.  What causes this and what do I do to get the file to not be skipped by auto reload?

This happens when SlickEdit detects that the file takes a long time to reload.  Without this, switching back and forth to the editor when editing a file on a slow file system causes the editor to lock up while waiting on that file.

The default timeout is 5 seconds, and can be adjusted on the options dialog (Tools>Options>File Options>Load).

This was useful today! Thanks for keeping it around.

I see this often when we are having NFS issues.  The problem is with NFS and not a specific file.  Is there a way to view and remove files from the list of files that "will always be skipped" ?

Not really.  You could adjust the time out if you want auto reload to work on the files.  The message should only appear once for each file.

Thanks for the reply, Dan.  Just to be sure I understand....There's a list of files that will never be checked for external changes, but I can't view or change the list of files?

Based on your previous comment, are you saying that adjusting the timeout resets the list and will resore the auto-reload behavior for any files that were previously in the list to be skipped for auto-reload?

Maybe I'm mis-understanding how this feature works, but I'm afraid that I've got files peppered across all my projects that are not being and will never be checked for changes.  Am I wrong here?

The feature works per instance of SlickEdit, it isn't saved between sessions.  When a file takes longer than the auto reload timeout amount to get reload information, the file is "marked" internally and that file is skipped by auto-reload for the remainder of the SlickEdit session.

You can change the amount of time it waits by going to Tools>Options>File Options>Auto reload> Auto reload timeout.  The default is 5000 ms (5 seconds).

Does this clear things up any?

Yes.  Thanks, Dan.

How can I revert this?
I want that file to get auto reloaded again.

In other words, you can revert it by exiting SE and relaunching SE.
