Freezes when no changes are made about massren HOT 6 CLOSED

I can confirm this behaviour on all platforms. I am currently busy with my exams so maybe @laurent22 would like to look into this.

from massren.

Is it possible that, since there is not changes, the text editor is not changing the file timestamp, and so massren is not detecting the (lack of) changes? @rwyc-devon, which text editor are you using?

@rwyc-devon Try saving the file after some time has elapsed. That way we can isolate the cause.

I am using vim. If I save it quits right away. So my initial description is incorrect; to reporoduce the bug you have to not save, and exit.

Thanks for the information.

Ok I see, it's not really a freeze since the application is simply waiting for the file to change. Currently we don't check if the text editor has been closed without saving the file, because it's not possible to do so with GUI editors like Sublime Text.

For modal editors like Vim maybe it would make sense to have a special case. We could watch the process ID and, if it's gone, automatically exit massren. I'm closing this issue and will add a feature request for this.
