Bug in linking to local md files

I purchased Marked2 to evaluate it and support the development. I am liking it very much as I use it, along with TextWrangler as my notebook system. I open the folder in both so I have the tree view in TextWrangler and the auto-update-to-newest file in Marked (a key feature in my opinion).

However, I found a bug that can be reproduced.

Consider two files, a.md and b.md. in the same folder

Let b.md be anything and have a link to b.md in a.md. Now, open the folder and modify a.md so it is the newest. Now click the link to b.md and open in the same window. Make another change to a.md so it should revert back but instead, gives an error saying it can't find any files.

I think that should be clear. If not, let me know and I'll try to explain it again. It has been reproducible on my mac.

    If you click a link to a file, it's opened as a file and it stops
    watching the folder. This is intentional as it's considered a "manual
    open" and assumed that you want to watch the file you've just opened.

    That makes sense but then it shouldn't throw an error when you save the original file. It should stay on the opened file.
