Gwenview's main image view does not update when a file is modified. The thumbnail bar thumbnails do update. Perhaps there is a reason for this behaviour, but it would be good to at least have an option in the settings to allow auto refresh (and I think that that should be the default behaviour).
What kind of modification? A rename, or an image edit (e.g. crop/resize)?
Content modification, with the same name. For example, I'm generating plots using python scripts, and they get regenerated every time I tweak the scripts, but I have to manually reload the images in Gwenview. I actually have to manually reload EVERY image that Gwenview has viewed - so if I have 5 images in a folder, and I scroll through them all, then regenerate them all, then when I scroll back through, I have to press F5 5 times. This can be annoying when there are a lot of images. I guess Gwenview should check the modified time each time it views an image, and check if its' cached version is older?
Ah, I see now, thanks for the info. That's an interesting use case.
Thanks for the report, turns out we already have that problem on file (and Nate even commented on it :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 131068 ***
Hah, wouldja lookit that.
