I was thinking that I'll be good to implement a refresh command (and a button,
obviously), for only reloading those that has changed.
I'm not talking of M$IE's refresh, that is a reload, or of removing the reload
command. For example, if I am editing an HTML file with JavaScipts in it, and
the only thing that changed was an <img src> tag, not reload the scripts.

What you call an refresh is a reload. If you change anything in a webpage, be it
a huge script or just a single tag, the whole document has to be reloaded, to
refresh its screen appearance. That's how http and html work.

-> WONTFIX.

no...I think you didn't understand me. I was thinking that, if for example, an
image changes, the ability to reload only that image, with commands like "reload
images", for example. I'm calling that refresh because you'r not reloadin all.
And please... don't put WONTFIX to everything... take a deeper look on all
proposals...

What you want does not belong here. You should file this bug in browser->layout
instead, since this functionality would have to be implemented there.
