Suggestion: Reload changed Tasklist only when focussed

[Oliver Sahr]

Hello Daniel,

I use ToDoList at work and also at home.

At work I have 3 ToDo-files I am working with:
- tasks of our complete team
- my tasks at work
- tasks of a software-project

Especially my boss uses ToDoList very excessively.
So I get every 5 minutes the message that the ToDo-file was changed from an other user and if I want to reload it.

This is very annoying, especially when ToDoList does not have the focus or when I have  an other ToDo-file in focus.
Then the focus switches to this message window while I am working with an other ToDo-file.

The ToDo-file of our team is stored on a network drive and is 5 MB in size.
So reloading the ToDo-file takes some seconds.
The option to "automatically reload the file" is slowing down ToDoList (if I work in an other ToDo-file and ToDoList reloads the changed ToDo-file then ToDoList hangs for some seconds).

Suggestion:
If ToDoList does not have the focus or if an other ToDo-file has the focus then don't show the message.
Only if ToDoList and also the ToDo-file have the focus check if the file was modified.

Greetings

IMHO this could be an additional setting, but not the replacement of the current behaviour, which makes sense too.

I agree.

Thx Olli, I'll add an extra option to the droplist in 7.1.
