    <thetext>SUMMARY
I am working on a program that generates images and I would like to preview the results using Gwenview. Unfortunately, images opened in Gwenview and modified by external programs are not automatically reloaded. I have to do it manually each time and it gets tiring in the long run.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an image in Gwenview and keep it open.
2. Modify the image externally.
3. Go back in Gwenview to look at the image.

OBSERVED RESULT
The viewport still shows the old version of the image, not the new one.

EXPECTED RESULT
Show the new version of the image.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Thank you for the otherwise fantastic program!</thetext>
