ImageGlass doesn't auto-update the viewing image when modified / rotated

[MxMalk]

It would be nice to recall frmMain.Prepare() after saving changes to an image and on refreshing and maybe even have an radio toggle option in the menu to "Re-Prepare" after a chosen amount of minutes/seconds.

One issue would be the load time on big files and folders. Maybe measure the runtime of the first call?

I also see an issue with the use-case in that one wants to rotate (and save) a lot of pictures quickly. Calling Prepare on every rotation could slow this down a lot. Maybe only reload after a least 2000ms of user inactivity and if runtime is below 1000ms?

One solution could be:
Having a "Live-Mode" and a "Lazy-Mode":

• Live-Mode reloading on Save, Refresh, and also after a certain time.
• Lazy-Mode being the default and reloading only on file opening and maybe on Refresh.

Hi @MxMalk
What version did you try?
Can you check the latest build http://imageglass.org/moon?
It will auto reload the image if it is changed (rotation / modified...)

Sorry, thats embarrassing, yes i really had an older source on my system.

Thank you for your great work. ImageGlass is an awesome tool.
