in reply to Open file without changing modified date/time

What about saving off the modified date/time then resetting it if you don't make any changes?

Alternatively, can you determine if you need to make changes before you do your inplace edit?

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
