155275 - Image reload does not pick up changes made to file

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 137819

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Terri Preston]

1. Pick two images on your hard drive. (Let's say image1 and image 2)
2. From the file menu, select open file and open image 1
3. Rename image 1 to something else
4. Rename image 2 to image 1
5. Click reload

Expected results: Image should update to new image

Actual results: the original image 1 is still shown 

Mac OS X using nightly build from 07/01/02

Confirmed using Chimera/20020701 using two JPEG files. The problem doesn't occur
using HTML files.

pav, I'm assuming this is a dup?

Comment 3

[Darin Fisher]

does shift-reload work?  (does chimera even expose shift-reload?)

Terri, does this also happen using Mozilla? Bug 167514 sounds similar.

I don't know MacOX, but are you sure that the Modification Date of image 2 is
changed by a rename to image 1. On Mac OS 9 the Dates are not changed. On MacOS
X, i suppose that  the standard Unix rules are used. If my memory is correct
only the creation date is changed.

Is supose that on local files only  the modification Date is used. Depends also
on the settings of your prefs.

****+reload should work.

If this is correct, a solution is to look at  the two dates and keep the later.
A solution for OSX , not OS9. For OS 9  the dates are not Changed
The same problem shoul appear on Unix

This should affect every type of files, and all browsers.
I have tested with Mozilla on MacOS9, i have your results.
For me it is not a bug
