texstudio Annoying warning "... has been modified by another application" while the file was modified by TeXstudio itself

Hello,

I would like to report a bug.

I have an included file in my project: \input{../Preamble/math}

When I click on the file (in the file explorer of TeXstudio), modify and save it, I get a warning:

../Preamble/math.tex has been modified by another application...

Please find below a screenshot and my system information.

Thank you.

I get a similar message with any file I'm working on in my project.

TeXstudio 2.12.12 (git 2.12.12) Using Qt Version 5.11.2, compiled with Qt 5.11.2 R OS: Mac OS X Mojave

Is the file located on some synced folder (network drive, dropbox, google drive, ...)?

This is along standing issue and we do not really know how to solve it. See also the issue in our old bug tracker.

In my case, the file is not in any such location

@timhoffm My files are indeed in a Dropbox folder. I'll check to see if the problem still occurs in a regular folder or not.

At the risk of bringing up an old bug, could there not just be a "I get the risk, disable this message permenantly" option?

Am I right that you are looking for this option?

type text "silently" into the config search field

Possibly, I'll give it a try - thanks.
