Disable "Should it be reloaded" query

[jakub.holik]

Hi,

have you seen this query?

Do you know how to disable it? Any help will be appreciated.

Some background:

We have recently migrated to 2021 from 2018 and somewhere between these versions a query for file reloading was added. It appears when I edit an ms file (we are using Sublime as our editor of choice) or an ini file (probably many more) asking me whether this file should be reloaded or not.

When editing scripts it is annoying, but survivable. However one of our scripts is importing an arbitrary number of obj files each with some specific settings. These settings are set via maxscript but are ending up in an ini file. And the query appears with every set of changes, asking whether the gw_objimport.ini (or something like that) should be reloaded, potentially hundreds of times for each execution. Obviously, that is not usable. Switching to some kind of a silent mode with automatic resolve would be an ideal resolution.

Cheers

just here to bump the question.

this feature is really disruptive (at best) and the fact that the messagebox is modal has lead to some issues.

If there isn`t already an option to disable this message, it should be added imediatly.

any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

You can change this behaviour by setting

are.you.sure.on.reload=0

in <3dsMaxInstall>\MXS_Editor.properties

The behavior will be that the script file modified outside of 3ds Max, will be automatically re-loaded into 3ds Max's script editor, with no questions asked.

I hope this helps.
