I keep seeing this error. Usually after exiting or returning from another program.
:
C:\Users\Julian\...\TPA.ico
This file has been modified outside the editor. Do you wish to reload it?

I have not changed the TPA.ico file.

Interesting; I'd need some more detail to know what is causing this - do you see the file date changing on the .ico file? This is what triggers that message, usually because another app on the system has been used to edit the file while it is still open in Keyman.

I started to investigate the ICO error.

   First thing I did was to see what the currect date & time of the file was. There are three files in my keyboard definition:
    TPA.ico
    TPA.kmn
    TPA.kmx
   Each has exactly the same time stamp; right down to the very second.

   It may be in my testing and trialing of my keyboard definition I had compiled a definition but had not yet installed it. Since the ico time stamp follows the definition time stamp, this may be where the error comes from.

   The next time I see it happening, I will investigate further.
