995309 - Notify user when file has changed on disk in the style editor

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Style Editor, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Heather Arthur [:harth]]

After a user has saved a stylesheet to disk in the style editor, we should start watching that file for changes. If the file changes on disk (as a result of another program modifying it), we should notify the user of the change and allow them to update to the new version.

This is also needed for Itchpad.

And maybe bug 958280 will help.

Yes, I think this depends on the new watch functionality.
