This way, real-time collaboration can be added, which is convenient.

Good idea, would be nice to also have an option for external files of the node system.

wish this would auto reload the scripts as well but great add on though for any one that simply gets sick of having to update everything manually after every small change. how is this not default behaviour in blender. absolutely of my top choice in my list of add on's to use, is this one.

  • tonton_ replied

Thanks for your kind words, about the scripts, blender already detects changes and display it to user (red question mark button) so he/she only has to click. I felt that it was a good enough solution, knowing that if you have unsaved changes in the text editor, they will be lost with this behavior... However, you can make an issue on the github to discuss this feature if you want ! cheers !

very useful for texturing when you prefer to use external painting programs. I'll just have a pop-out blender viewport on one side of my screen and see it update as I go.

Hi, I tried to install the add-on but it doesn't appear in the add-on list... can't use it, solutions?

  • tonton_ replied
  • 4 mo

Hi sorry for the inconvenience, first time i hear about this problem, you may have installed it incorrectly. Here is the proper way of installing extensions :

  • go to blender (v4.2.x and higher, anterior version will not work) preferences
  • go to "get extension" category (left of the preferences panel)
  • search for "auto reload", then click on "install", and you are good to go !
  • if you want to set the addon preferences, you can go to "add- ons" category and search for it, there are some settings you can tweak

If this solves your problem, your installation method was wrong somehow. In this case, please consider changing your rating if you like the addon ? :)

If it does not solve your problem, please file an issue here : https://github.com/samytichadou/Auto_Reload_Blender_addon/issues/new This is the proper way to solve your problem !

Thanks !

I love this add on. I use is together with Coatools for cutout style animation. With the "Images inspector" it makes it super easy to edit the parts. Question , was the Images inspector functionally removed from version 3.0.3, for blender 4.2 Lts? It was working before in 4.0 but now the preference section to set the external editor is gone.

  • tonton_ replied

Hi thanks for the kind words. Regarding image inspector panel, code was messy, and giving i don't have a lot of time for now to work on the addons, i prefered remove it completely to focus on the auto reload functionalities. For now, you can use image manager (https://github.com/samytichadou/image_manager) which have almost same functions. The goal, when i have some spare time, is to turn it into a proper extension and to clean the code ! Sorry for the inconvenience, hopes this answer your question ! Cheers !

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!
