Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Fix scripts/content files getting deleted after file
 modifications

Some editors like Visual Studio saves the modified file to a temporary
file, deletes the original file and renames the temporary file back to
original filename, which rarely causes the editor to detect it as a
file deletion action by user.
