Title: Why My Programs Require Reloading After Other Program Changes
Post by: Lin on July 02, 2010, 11:55:27 AM
Well, you may have noticed, but after using ZOCF, ZOTE, or ZOLE, you have to reload the ROM in these tools after one of them saves. The reason being is each program loads the file data only once, and stores it while the program runs. Then, when you save, it writes this data to the file. Since it only loads the data once, this means all other changes to the file aren't updated in the other programs, so when one programs saves after another without reloading, it overwrites the changes the other one made. This doesn't look like it has any hope for being changed as I like having it like this, but I will in the future add a "Reload" button in my programs.

To fix problem:  Stop loading the file in multiple programs at once.
