Expected Behavior

I expect that the image source in OBS will be updated in about 1-2 seconds after overwriting the source file.

Current Behavior

When the source file is deleted and replaced with the same filename, image source in OBS does not update

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create image source in OBS
  2. Select any image file as source
  3. Delete image file
  4. Create new image file with the same filename
  5. OBS does not update image source ...

Anything else we should know?

This workflow is different from saving/overwriting from imaging software like Photoshop. My workflow requires the original file to be deleted and then replaced with another file of the same filename. My workflow is similar to GrandyB sheets.io

Just noting that I would not expect this to work. I don't think we're watching image sources for file changes once loaded, and doing so is likely non-trivial.
