Description

When saving through HeidiSQL a .sql file into a directory managed by Dropbox, HeidiSQL triggers a "File has been modified by an external program. Reload?" prompt just a few seconds after the save operation is completed.

HeidiSQL version

12.13.0.7147

Database server version

MySql 8

Reproduction recipe

Steps to Reproduce
Open HeidiSQL and connect to any database.

Open a new Query tab and write some SQL code.

Click File > Save script as... (or Ctrl+S).

Select a destination folder that is currently being synced by Dropbox.

Wait 2–5 seconds.

Expected Behavior
HeidiSQL should recognize the file as saved and not prompt for a reload, as the "modification" detected is simply the Dropbox client updating file metadata/sync status.

Actual Behavior
A dialog box appears: "The file [path] has been changed by an external program. Do you want to reload it?". This interrupts the workflow every time a save occurs.
