Hi,

I understand it is a feature of nedit that it looks for changes in the 
edited file every other second (by calling stat() on the file).

However, this causes annoying pauses when editing a file on a slow 
network filesystem.

I've tried to disable the check un-selecting the 
preferences->DefaultSettings->Warnings options, but that does not help.

Using "strace nedit somefile.txt" I can see the stat() calls are still done.

Is there a way to disable that behaviour (short of changing the source 
code)?

Thanks in advance,

Lutz
