## File Management

The handling of files that are changed on disk by another program is now more flexible. There are three possible behaviors that can be specified in the General pane of the Utilities>Global Options dialog box:

- Do nothing - jEdit will not check if files are modified on disk by another program.

- Prompt - a dialog box will be shown listing all changed files, offering to reload them.

- Automatically reload - a dialog box will be shown listing all changed files, and they are all automatically reloaded.

When opening a symbolic link on Unix, the opened buffer has the path name of the link itself, not the file pointed by the link. However, it is still not possible to open the same buffer twice by opening two links to the same file.
