Sourcecode update from outer world

Is it possible now that you can use an external editor for tool coding, so Renoise auto-detects file changes and then will recompile? I remember that there was something changed lately…

Editing With External Text Editor - How To Run?

Hello, I’d like to edit TestPad.lua in an external editor. Is there a quick way to get that file to load after saving from the external editor? It looks like the only way to run a file is ‘Command + R’ Save and Run the current Tabs File If TestPad.lua is already loaded in the Renoise’s editor, it does not automatically pick up the changes from the external editor. It looks like it’s necessary to close, open again, and cmd+r to run.

If I remember correctly, it doesn’t detect imported files being modified (only main.lua). Don’t quote me on that.

Hm, file watchers (macos system watchers) would be nice, so you fully could use an external editor. Also maybe “reload tools” thru Renoise.exe commandline?
