Bug Description

I have an md-file located on dropbox.

The file was opened in Retext (4.1.2) on one machine and changed on another machine. However the change was overwritten by Retext.

I have automatic save turned on.

I would expect Retext to discover that the file has been changed in the file system, and allow me to choose to reload the content from the file, or overwrite it.

Since I use dropbox and have version history I'd be even more content with having Retext automatically update to the new content, but I think that would not be to everyone's liking...

This should be already fixed in the development version (5.0). If you try the current git code and confirm if it fixes your problem, that will be nice.
