Visual Studio Code Auto-refresh file changes

Question

Working with Visual Studio Code I have noticed if a file you are working with change  whenever that file get focused in a code panel it will be reloaded from the disk  if you don t have changes in the file through VSCode    However  if you are on that file there is no alert to warning you about file changes   I ve been reviewing the settings and I cannot find anything like the visual studio option       Detect when file is changed outside the environment   So my question  Is there any hidden setting or some hack to make that warning happen   Update  Solved in version 0 3 0 of Visual Studio Code    The file will be updated from disk if there is no changes through the editor   very useful to read log files during a process execution  If there are changes on both sides  from disk and through the editor  when ever you try to save the file using VSCode  the editor will warn you about that situation  i e   dirty writes   and a file comparison will allow you to decide what to do

VSCode will never refresh the file if you have changes in that file that are not saved to disk. However, if the file is open and does not have changes, it will replace with the changes on disk, that is true.

There is currently no way to disable this behaviour.
