I've made a mistake of clicking "Yes" on the dialog asking "This file has been modified by another program. Do you want to reload it and lose the changes made in Notepad++?"
I've realized too late that important changes weren't saved yet. TBH I probably skimmed through the question and missed the part "and lose the changes", since I regularly see the dialog without that part due to git updates and it's inefficient to read it every time.
Some work was lost. Could you please make it so that reloading a file on external modification would instead add a new history entry with the new contents of the file? That way the modifications in Notepad++ can be restored with Ctrl-Z if this was a mistake. This would also fit well with a workflow when some changes are made with an external program (e.g. a markdown editor or an update from git).
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
Open a file
Make a change, do not save
Switch to another program and change the same file, save it
Return to Notepad++, answer "Yes" to the question "This file has been modified by another program. Do you want to reload it and lose the changes made in Notepad++?"
Expected Behavior
After answering "Yes" I'd like to be able to press Ctrl-Z to restore the previous version modified in Notepad++ and unsaved.
Additionally "and lose the changes" could be written in bold.
Actual Behavior
Ctrl-Z does nothing as the editing history is emptied when the file is reloaded.
Debug Information
Not a bug, nothing to debug.
Thank you for this awesome editor!
