Qt Creator - Auto Load File Changes

Cairo

While it is nice sometimes that it informs you when a file you have opened has changed. Most of the time it's really annoying having to click 'Yes to All' whenever a file is modified.

Is there a way for Qt Creator to always load the updated file when it detects a change?

no there is no such way. but you can use option to save when build.

Could it be done?

As I've added a python script to mess with my .pro file before build, I have to click "yes" each time I build in any configuration :)
Is it really still not possible?
I've seen it reported and then deemed invalid, but it is indeed very valid issue with the editor (or internal FileManager, not sure which component is exactly responsible for giving a warning). What this guy is talking about? If there is such an option, why is it not google-able?
Any suggestions?

Hi,

Take a look at look at Qt Creator's preference under Environment -> System -> When file are externally modified.
