Files edited in some editors don't always get updated in encrypted format

[SidShetye]

This is an issue with how powershell sometimes doesn't always honor the -Wait flag. for example, if the editor was already open before the user requests to open his/her encrypted file, it's seen to not respect that (e.g. with .txt files and Visual Studio Code)

Inside CipherDocs.ps1 at Line 68 we do something like

Start-Process $tempClearFilePath -Wait # <== problem-o !

to launch the file and wait before CipherDoc reviews file state for re-encryption.

Since this is flaky, we need a better mechanism for that. Maybe monitor the file for changes (file system monitor?) as long as it's got open handles? Or ... ?

Seems that visual studio code might actually be collapsing processes ...

Directly open code.exe

Double click the pgp file, it opens inside the existing code window. The just-launched process info is

Process info is

Continuing after 'Wait-Process'

but it indeed exits immediately i.e. PID 15064 doesn't exist even though the content is open in the editor window.
