I don't know of any guis that do that. The best I've seen is "the file seems to have changed since the last load... are you sure you want me to overwrite it?"
Codewright. I switch focus to another app and when I switch back, if the file open in Codewright has changed, it asks if I want to save as a new file the version currently open in Codewright or reload the changed file into the editor. I find this very, very useful. I have suggested that this may be a way to let TinyCAD and FreePCB manipulate shared files.
