When i add custom css or javascript in pinegrow via the built in editor everything freezes and i get the popup with “Unsaved file modified outside of pinegrow”. When the popup is triggered everything freezes and i can’t click the button reload or don’t reload. I have to close pinegrow from taskmanager because everything is frozen. Using the latest version of pinegrow and the latest version of windows 11. ---

Made a video of pinegrow freezing and sent it to support. Should be easy to replicate because i tested it with a new project and it happens every time so it is not a project based bug. You see when i click the close button in pinegrow the screen goes darker and darker each time but no way to close pinegrow and only way is via task manager. ---

This is solved with the help of the awesome support by Emmanuel 🙂 The problem was i am using the cloud to work on my projects so i can work from both my desktop and laptop on the same project without having to copy the files over each time. For anyone getting the same problem as me , disable the **Auto-reload files** when changed outside of Pinegrow from the settings if you want to use a cloud based storage such as one drive, dropbox etc. ---

So, to clarify, for my part, I don’t have any particular problem with Dropbox, but some utilities are more invasive than others and the real time scanning of files can be a problem with the auto-reload feature of Pinegrow by causing a permanent status change of the files being modified 😉 ---
