reload-from disk for split objects. #5110

Open rewolff opened 2 years ago

rewolff commented 2 years ago

When working on a project I often use "reload from disk" (A feature I requested a while back. Happy it got implemented, thanks!)

Today it turns out that I had used "split" on my STL file for printing, and I still wanted to load the new version of the file.

Slic3r then tells me I can't do it and I have to click OK.

Suggestion: popup a choice window, and explain that proceeding:

And then ask: Proceed with reload / cancel?

To be able to do this, a "split" will need to keep a "ghost" of the original object around and a pointer to the "parent object" in the split "children".
