Synchronization

Item

Description

Synchronize files on frame or editor tab activation If this checkbox is selected, all the files that were changed externally are reloaded from disk when you switch to DataGrip from a different application, or when you switch to their editor tab.
Save files on frame deactivation

If this checkbox is selected, all modified files are auto saved when you switch from DataGrip to a different application.

Note that you cannot disable auto-save completely by turning off this and the following option. See also, the Saving and Reverting Changes section.

Save files automatically if application is idle for N seconds

If this checkbox is selected, all modified files are auto saved at regular time internals.

See also, the Saving and Reverting Changes section.

Use "safe write" (save changes to a temporary file first)

If this checkbox is selected, a changed file is first saved in a temporary file. If the save operation succeeds, the file being saved is replaced with the saved file. (Technically, the original file is deleted and the temporary file is renamed.)

Also, the ownership of such file changes.

If this checkbox is not selected, the ownership of a file does not change, but all the advantages of safe write will be lost.
