Auto Reload is a Blender addon designed to automatically refresh external files when modified (images, movie clips, libraries, sound and cache files).
A timer will look every n seconds for modified external files, if there is some, they will be reloaded inside Blender.
This extension requests the following permission:
Checking/Reloading external files from current blend
thanks, glad you found it useful :)
that's the way i liked it, thanks a lot, its life saver
you're welcome, thanks for the kind words !
Reloading images has always been a pain, especially when working with 2d animations and lots of texture back n forth. Thankyou, hopefully this comes to native Blender at some point :] Just a minor feedback - I dont know if I need to see the Auto Reload UI at all times in the top corner and it is making the UI busier. I think it could work just as well just in the Image Editor/Movie Editor/Shader Editor and showing the Icon in the Top corner could be an option.
hi thanks for the kind words ! About the presence of the icon, it also serves to reload libraries and cache sequence, so my thought here was "it could be useful from any area type", so instead of having it in multiple places, better to only have it as a small icon in the top bar :) But you're right if one only uses it for images, it could eat some useful topbar space, i'll think about other options for a next version when i have some spare time !
Essential for anyone doing lots of texture work. It's easy to use and does exactly what it says. This is already saving me so much time!
