Move to Platform/Resources
Comment 2 Szymon Brandys CLA 2010-06-28 06:12:35 EDT
We are not going to remove this notification.

We should add native refresh providers for Mac and Linux as we already have for Windows. This would allow to see the message, only if a change is made in the underlying filesystem.
