Replace/Update Image feature? [SOLVED]
Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but I'd like to see an Update Image feature in any of the areas in the editor where you are pointing to a texture.

Currently, I'm constantly revising the textures in an external paint program, and having to move to that folder in the file requester of the editor, each time, to reload/update that texture in the editor.

I get that one of the issues may be because you are sort of copying the image from some part of your hard drive, into the library of Tabletop Playground... and so changing the image file does not affect the copy of the image held in that library... since it is a copy, and not the master file. (...if that's how it's working)

But, maybe TP could keep track of where the master files (outside of the library) are stored, so that updating that file would update it in the editor?

That all said, am I able to directly edit (with an external program) the copy of the image that is stored in TP's library? If so, that would be a (currently usable) solution, right?

It's just a bit tedious having to manually fire up the file requester (in the editor), navigate to the location of the master image, select it, etc... every time I make a modification to the image file (...which, in my case, if very frequent!). Just seeing if I'm doing something wrong here, or if this is something that can/should be streamlined. I'm still quite green at this, so I'm sure I'm not operating in the most efficient workflow.

Editing the images directly in the package folder makes sense if you update them frequently (click on the folder icon in the select texture dialog to open the folder). There's a reload button at the top of the screen when you edit an object that will quickly reload all resource files used by that object.
Ya, I seemed to remember there being a Reload button before, but it isn't there now.

I think what is happening is that I have my master files in an external folder... I guess I wasn't aware that there was a dedicated area (...or at least wasn't sure where it was or something).

Learning all the time...
