Image caching

[gotschmarcel]

Sometimes when an image has changed it is really annoying that MacDown has no button for reloading cached images.

There is a “Render” item in the menu. It does not really clear caches (only updates the HTML), but still works for me most often than not because MacDown does not really make use of the WebView’s caching mechanism. Maybe you can try that first?

I already tried that, but still no effect. I had to rename the file and include that instead, to get it updated.

I've been annoyed by this as well. I can understand a latency updating remote images, but for local files referenced with relative paths, it would be great if a change to the last-modified date could trigger a reload.

I'd also be very happy if this gets changed. Sometimes the caching persists even over restarts of the application. This changed my workflow so much hat I actually started to double check my images all the time. (btw: I tried re-rendering, it didn't help. Only save way to get the updated image is renaming to a previously unused file name.)

As a workaround, I add ?some=thing ?some=thing2 and ?some=thing3 etc. whenever I need to reload the image. That's at least faster than restarting the application.

Thanks for the workaround @mmzoo. Works like a charm and is much less annoying than renaming the files or restarting the application.

It would be nice if this issue were reopened. Adding a query parameter to the file name isn't intuitive.

Fixing this issue would be amazing!

Wait no, this is a different issue. Sorry.

Fixed in #747. 🎈🎈🎈

Issue still present in 0.7.1 (870) on 10.12.6 unfortunately. Maybe that private API got renamed or something?
