IIRC this was done by Sandy on the 1.4 branch.

IMO you should check the modification outside of the buffer ONLY if you would destroy \
the newer modification.... (so only on Save this file or on Save All)

Please don't do this on switching views...

Falk: The way to check it:
On loading the file to memory you should also get the time and date from the file on \
disk (QFileInfo I guess) and remember it (in a memory structure or similar), on file \
save these two values will be compared again. If something has changed give a \
warning... if not, save it and remember the new time and date from the file (again \
QFileInfo, never system time). 

Get always the time and date stamp from the disk (QFileInfo) and NEVER from the \
system time, because it can differ on remote mounted disks!!!
