Hi,

I see new behaviour when .lyx is externally modified while being loaded in lyx.
It is automatically flagged as modified no matter whether the file was modified
inside lyx before external modification.

This typically happens when (r)syncing file between computers. I used to know 
when
sync happen and would close the file or reload it.
The new behaviour is somewhat confusing because I'm not capable to distinguish 
whether
I mistakenly edited the file meanwhile (and really need to pay attention) or 
whether
no change was actualy done and just external change happened.

I propose that we drop the '*' modification flag and let only the warning about 
external
modification. That way one can easily see whether there is merge problem 
because file
got edited meanwhile or just reload is enough.

Opinions?

Pavel
