The complete file content will be loaded when the file has been selected. After each finished marking the time stamp of the file will be checked and in the case of any update of the given file the new content is available. The load procedure can take up to one minute.

In the case that the file is not longer stored at the defined path SAMLight will mark each line like loaded at the beginning. There will be no error message. If the file is back at the defined path, SAMLight will recognize this.

SAMLight will show an error message if a job with a set path is opened, where the file can not be found at the set path.
