Cached images in WBP

Postby Kelly » Wed Sep 26, 2007 9:33 am

If I edit an image that has already been assigned to a widget by the setImage method within the WBP the image in the editor does not change until I restart the Eclipse program.

To reproduce:

Assign an image to a ToolItem, (I think it could be any widget that has setImage).

Now use your image editor and modify the image but keep the image filename the same.

Press F5 so that Eclipse sees that the image file has changed.

The image shown in the GUI editor does not change.

I have to restart Eclipse to see my changes.

Is their a way to tell Eclipse or WBP editor to refresh the image it has cached?

I am not sure if Eclipse is doing this or WBP?

Thanks
Kelly

The images are normally cached until the app (Eclipse in this case) shuts down and restarts.

In the latest build, you should now be able to either close and reopen the editor or click the Refresh button in the editor to have the images update.
