Hi there,

I do a lot of stuff with Graphics programs like Inkscape / Karbon. Often I need to output an image to png / jpg and then check it before using it. Often I'll come across changes that need to be made and have to go back and modify things 2-10 times. It's a little thing, but when I do the same thing with outputting PDF's from Calligra, Okular has already updated the displayed PDF by the time I switch over to look at it (man it's fast at picking up the changes...). With Gwenview, I alt-tab over and have to push F5 every time, or close and reopen Gwenview (sometimes faster if I'm working in the dark at night and can't see f5 easily). My preference would be that as soon as the image was modified that Gwenview showed the new version. If you wanted you could add a bar, similar to when you modify an image in Gwenview that said something like "This image has been modified. To see the original version click HERE.".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an image in Gwenview
2.Modify the image in another program
3. Switch focus back to Gwenview
Actual Results:  
Gwenview displays the image pre-modifications.

Expected Results:  
Gwenview displays the image as it currently is in the filesystem

Gwenview rocks! Especially full screen and comparison modes since the 4.8 upgrade. Thanks team!
