Ability to refresh a file #284

Open leleogere opened 1 year ago

leleogere commented 1 year ago

I'm using Helio to vizualise and manipulate some automatically generated midi files. Unfortunately, Helio does not seem to refresh the file when it is modified on disk. Is it possible to reload a file from the disk with a shortcut (F5 or Ctrl+R seem the most natural to me).

Unfortunately, this is not currently possible: when you open a MIDI file, the app creates its own document and inserts the contents of the MIDI file into it. I've recently received a request to make the app work as an in-place MIDI file editor, and I hope to have the time to implement it so that reloading is also possible.
