Quick Texture Reload Feature?

<< < (2/2)

hihosilver:
Well, yes, but I'm sure that would slow down anim8or a lot.  Especially with large, high quality textures that already take a while to load.

floyd86:
Ye, I got this problem so often. It would be helpfull to have a sort of reload button.

CobraSpectre:
This would be a nice feature when you are trying to test out how a texture will look.

Textures do take a while to load, so a "smart" texture reloader would be needed. The image you are working on externally would have to be saved over the same file name that anim8or is referencing. A hash of the current images would be stored, and hashes would be rechecked to see if they have changed, and if so reloaded.

Steve:
What about a reload button/command that only reaload testure files whit a changed date?  That wouldn't use any time unless the texture was updated.

Alternately I might be able to add an auto load setting that updates textures whenever they are changed using a Windows notification message.  I don't know how to do this but I can probably figure it out.

Tanzim:
Great idea Lawrence, cheers Steve!
