texture remains as unused datablock #27

The addon apparently creates a texture on startup called ".autoreload_preview".

This texture does not have a user, so every time I clean up the unused datablock on any file (even a new scene), a pop-up appears to clean-up this texture.

My workaround is to browse the datablocks and give that texture a fake user.. It would be better if the addon does this on its own. I also would like to mark the texture as "Runtime Data" so that it doesn't get saved with the Blend files to keep my files even tidier, but checking that box would delete it and creates a new one with the fake user unmarked on startup.

if these two steps are automated within the script, it would improve the user experience and keep the files cleaner.
