wish: multiple user edition with file share

[Kamil Rezac]

It would be useful if the program can recognize the data file changed on the background since it has been open (and offer to merge, save as or something else). This would help to prevent overwriting changes.
Scenario:
- data on cloud (i.e. Dropbox)
- computer 1: open
- computer 2: open, add transacion 1, save
- data are synchronized to computer 1
- computer 1: add transacion 2, save, transaction 1 is lost

Thanks

Why not simply close HB on computer 1/2 after you have made changes, the last file is always reloaded ?

That's what I'm trying to do. But sometimes some distraction happens...
Thanks

I will see to do something if not too complex or dev time consuming

If you run Linux, can you test such a detection with gedit ?
If this works, I will inspire from it. Thanks.

Hi Maxime,
it works fine, see screenshot (the orange box appears on save)

Thanks
