Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201302132200) Operating System = Windows 8 version 6.2 running on x86 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_17 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.7-b01 when i edit file and save it, quick edit and save again (ctrl+s) IDE shows such confirmation: i have 2 buttons yes/no File Z:\path\index.php was modified externally. Overwrite it? if i make bigger pause, at least several seconds, between saves - it mostly works just fine. it's so annoying..

Could you please attach profiler snapshot taken in moment this happens (meaning start profiling, reproduce the problem and stop profiling)? See [1] for more information. Maybe there will be more information. Also, what is this Z:\, is it a local drive, network drive etc? It could be useful to know. Thank you [1] http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqProfileMeNow
Please, tell us more about your project setup - e.g. do you use copying/uploading on save? Simply reopen this issue, thanks.
I'm working with windows, but i have ubuntu in virtual machine. Z:/ is mapped disk to ubuntu. there can't be any errors with this, all other programs works fine. i do not have anything like copy/upload on save, just save it locally on Z disk and that's it. I've been using previously netbeans with same environment and there were no issues. Can't tell which version I've used of netbeans previously.
The message comes from openide.text module. Reassigning (is it correct component?), please evaluate. Thanks.
I have the same problem with a similar setup. I'm working from Win 7 machine and have a drive mapped as z:\ through samba server on another local Linux box. We're using GIT to sync files to bitbucket.org as 3 programmers are working on this project. On some files (.php) i can press "ctrl + s" as many times as i want to. On another files it constantly pops up "file XXX was externally modified. Overwrite it? At the same time "undo/redo" option disappears or allows only one step back. If i press ctrl + s just once and then wait a some time (e.g. 2 minutes), it will NOT popup the dialog. I can see they're also talking about this bug here. https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191445 And i tested what someone suggested, longer filenames and i can confirm there is something about that. thistest.php will popup dialog constantly (i can reproduce it everytime, it takes me just a few seconds), but if i rename this same file to thistest_thistest.php (longer filename), then this problem fully disappears. Once i rename it back to something shorter again ,the problem is back. My NetBeans IDE version: 7.3.1 (Build 201306052037) This bug is so annoying, basically as undo/redo option disappears when dialog pops up, it's a real deal breaker for me. I'll import the same project into the Eclipse to see if the same problem will occur there. Kind regards!
To update you about the problem (read my previous post above first): I've installed Eclipse and i've tested the exact same project, the same files, used the same methods. It works there without a problem. So this really seems to be Netbeans related problem. I have also installed Netbeans 7.4 beta, hoping this issue would be already solved there, but it wasn't. I love Netbeans, but this bug is really a deal breaker for me and i'll have to work with Eclipse until this bug is resolved. BTW: I've found quite a LOT of complaints regarding this problem on google, but noone offered a working solution yet. best regrds!
