Live reload

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Is there a keybind or setting to enable live reload of an image (if it changes)? Feh for instance has a reload_image keybind. Thanks!

There currently isn't. I have been thinking about actually monitoring the files in the background and automatically reloading on changes which seems much nicer than a command (although also harder to implement). I will add this to the list of wanted features for the Qt rewrite #61.

Unfortunately I am still really busy with work and the progress on this is rather slow, sorry about that...

There is no rush :). Having a command seems good enough (at least for me).

Once again, closing as this has been implemented in the Qt port and I will not implement any new features here anymore. Thanks again for all your suggestions!
