   Is there a way to get the path of the current document in a script?
   I know, we can get the filename of the current document as 'pn.CurrentDoc().FileName'.

   I'm trying to write a script, that makes it possible to reload (or reopen) the current document and can be assigned to some hotkey. Any ideas on this?

   I can now answer part of my question myself: there is no need for an explicit file path. What I'm doing now is: 'pn.OpenDocument(pn.CurrentDoc().FileName, "")' - does any one know, what the second argument is supposed to be?

   The second argument is an optional scheme name, note this is the internal scheme name and not the one displayed in the UI. So for example if you did OpenDocument("blah", "xml") then you will get the file "blah" opened with the Xml scheme.

   Ok, this works fine. Is there a way to tell pn not to open a new document in a new buffer but to reload the opened document in it's current buffer? This works fine when reopening documents in pn, but doesn't seam to work, when called from a script (see post above).

   I finally got a working solution:

   import pn
   from pypn.decorators import script
   @script("ForceReload", "MyScripts")
   def reload():
   doc = pn.CurrentDoc()
   pn.CurrentDoc().Close(False)
   pn.OpenDocument(doc.FileName, doc.CurrentScheme)

   Any improvements?

   If some one is interested: I have improved my script a little, so it is no usable as a very simple log file viewer. The script can be assigned to a shortkey using the options dialogue and will select changed lines in the reopened file.

   import pn
   import scintilla
   from pypn.decorators import script
   @script("LogViewer", "MyScripts")
   def reload():
   doc = pn.CurrentDoc()
   editor = scintilla.Scintilla(pn.CurrentDoc())
   start = editor.PositionFromLine(editor.LineCount)
   pn.CurrentDoc().Close(True)
   pn.OpenDocument(doc.FileName, doc.CurrentScheme)
   editor = scintilla.Scintilla(pn.CurrentDoc())
   editor.GotoLine(editor.LineCount)
   editor.SelectionStart = start
   editor.SelectionEnd = editor.PositionFromLine(editor.LineCount)

   Any improvements welcome!
