GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 534348
eog should suggest to reload a modified file
Last modified: 2010-09-14 12:22:33 UTC
Like Gedit for text files, EOG could suggest to reload a modified file or to keep the previously loaded image when getting focus. When a file is modified, even when if new file item is clicked in nautilus, eog still shows the old file.
Related to #555370

I agree with Fabricio's suggestion. A simple message like in Gedit would be sufficient to avoid confusion. This becomes important now, especially with the "Edit image" button in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/548880
Any news for this bug ? it will be very visible in Ubuntu 10.10 . (by the way I updated the Ubuntu bug descriptions, the correct downstream report is now : https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/632810 )
It will be as visible as in any other distro. Please don't poke in vain.
This bug (indeed #614635) is highly visible when there is an "Edit Image" button in EOG. I know this button is in Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10, I don't know for other distro. According to #609958, the "Edit Image" button is not implemented yet in the Gnome EOG, that is why I suppose not all distro have it, and that is why I pointed out the specificity of Ubuntu. Sorry for the bugzilla spam.
