Show new images added into directory?

Open tonfa80 opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Hi,

It seems that this module is not displaying new images added into directory in cases:

  • exsiting images are deleted from directory and new images are added with different file names. -> module displays only small boxes until magic mirror is restarted.
  • exisiting images are replaced with new images with the same file names. -> module displays old images from cache until restarting magic mirror.

Is it possible sonehow to get module displaying new images without restarting magic mirror?

i am just another user, but the current design is to get the list of images only once. at module startup time

That is correct, you;d need to restart the MM instance to find any new images. If I have time I could add in code to re-check on every restart of the entire list.

I've implemented it exactly that way in #11 - actually only saw the issue when creating the pull request.
