Support the view-source: source code views.

I'm getting no auto-update on view-source:file:// tabs.

file:// tabs are working fine.

Any remedy?

'view-source:file://' is currently not supported unfortunately. I'll have an experiment this week to see if adding support is possible :)

Out of interest why wouldn't making the 'file://' live not handle your use case?

Misleading report. Sorry. In truth, LiveUpdate responds with a very clear statement:

Thanks.

Great! I'll look forward to trying it.

I'm adjusting a PHP source, rebulding, and in the browser verifying the effect on non-render items such as data- attributes... using view-source.

Oh that use case makes a lot of sense @chrisjj - I'll adjust the title to make this a feature :D

[chrisjj]

Thanks! That'll save me a few thousand ALT+TAB, CTRL+Rs :-)

This might take me a bit longer to implement as it appears I can't inject JS into the view-source: pages like I normally would. However I believe I might have found a suitable solution (Doing the XHR request in the extension context), as a result it might take be a bit longer to implement.

Thanks. I'm patient :)

Timing for this, I've moved it to 2.5.0 to prioritise #74 . I'm aiming to finish 2.4.0 over Christmas & 2.5.0 in February.

[chrisjj]

Sounds appropriate to me :)
