codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Sidebar file view does not auto-refresh when AI modifies open files (requires manual reopen) [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by implementing an automatic refresh mechanism for file tabs in the Codex desktop application after AI modifications.

Guidance

• Investigate the file update mechanism in the Codex application to determine why the file content is not automatically updated after AI modifications.
• Verify if there are any existing settings or configuration options in the Codex application that can enable automatic refresh of file tabs after modifications.
• Consider adding a feature request to the Codex application to implement an automatic refresh mechanism for file tabs after AI updates.
• Review the application's documentation to see if there are any known limitations or workarounds for this issue.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more information about the application's internal workings.

Notes

The solution may require changes to the Codex application's codebase or configuration, which may not be feasible without access to the application's source code or documentation.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a manual refresh button or shortcut for file tabs to mitigate the issue until a permanent fix can be developed, as the root cause of the issue is not clear and may require further investigation.
