Reload file silently, without asking

[redfox]

Please, could you add an option to reload (a modified) file silently, without asking me, if I want to reload? I did not find an option to disable the popup message box.

I need this app for viewing log files, which are being modified continuously...

For Scripts plugin, silentlyReload.js:

Code: Select all

var hWndEdit = AkelPad.GetEditWnd();
AkelPad.SendMessage(hWndEdit, 3087 /*AEM_SETMODIFY*/, 0, 0);
AkelPad.Command(4104 /*IDM_FILE_REOPEN*/);

I need this app for viewing log files, which are being modified continuously...

Or try Log plugin.

Your code works (once), when executed manually from the Options menu.

My question: How to execute the script automatically on startup, and then peridodically every x seconds? Is there a command line option for that? Thx.

Regarding the Log Watch plugin, it cannot do a full file reload on modify, it is capable only to append lines at the end. If I change the file content at the beginning or middle, it is useless.

Periodically repeats are not trivial...
