#Gazer constantly monitors open documents and reloads them when they change. Further details below.

Monitoring open files in normal mode

When a file is opened in #Gazer, #Gazer also starts monitoring the file. The file is monitored in the file system. Thus, e.g. the opened file can be edited in an external editor. Once the edited file is saved, #Gazer will detect this and reloads the file.

Directory monitoring and access to resources within the directory

You can optionally set the option within #Gazer's preferences to monitor the entire directory containing the file opened in #Gazer. The monitoring and updating then follows the same principle as in the normal mode, but the directory monitoring enables access to external resources in the same directory. This for example allows displaying images within documents. More about the preferences of the Folders.
