Feature Request: File Versioning

[0xsven]

I would love to see a feature where codekit automatically renames my css/js files in order to force browsers to download the latest versions of the stylesheet.

It could work like that:

• Activate 'File Versioning' on your style.css
• Chose a versioning rule (Random number or add an increment)
• Find the file where it is referenced and add an anchor like that:

    <!--@codekit-overwrite "style.css"; -->
        <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
    <!--@codekit-overwrite End -->

If style.css changes (eg. through sass compiling) it gets inserted into the comments.

Hi Sven,

The lower-overhead approach is to simply disable your browser cache when developing.

CodeKit 2.0 will do that automatically, so this should not be an issue in the future.

I was talking about forcing the user's browser to load the new changes instead of using the cached version.
