annoying file reloading

Hi,

I've been getting intermittent notices while working on a particular Verilog file. This notice informs me that the file has been changed and asks me if I want to reload the file, possibly overwriting any changes.

This happens when I save the file. Is there a way to turn off this notice?

version: Quartus 11.1 build 173 64-bit

OS: windows 7

    This is a feature, that is happening because you have the file open within quartus and are editing it with an editor outside of quartus.

    This typically happens when you compile, and have an error, you look at it in quartus then fix it in your editor of choice.

    If you close the file within quartus before you save, you should not see the warning.

    That may be true, but when this occurs, I don't have the same file opened anywhere else.

    edit: could this have something to do with the fact that Quartus is not installed in the C:\ directory?

    i don't have Quartus installed in C: and don't see that same behavior

    is there a rev control tool or anything that could be controlling the file at all?

    I thought that was the case since the project files folder is connected to SVN.

    I'm going to replace this version with the latest Quartus: 11.1sp1.

    Thanks for your reply. This was helpful.
