This addon is available from the Blender Extension Platform and directly inside Blender (from the Preferences, Get Extensions category)
Auto Reload is a Blender addon design to automatically refresh external files when modified (images, movie clips, libraries, sound and cache files).
A timer will look every n seconds for modified external files, if there is some, they will be reloaded inside Blender
If you like this addon, you can help me here through Donation, to buy me a coffee and allow me to continue to develop free tools.
Auto Reload interface :
Handy accessible menu located in the right part of the topbar to quickly activate/deactivate Timer through the stopwatch button, and select what to reload from the popover.
- Timer Frequency : set here the time interval for automatic Check/Reload for external files
- On Startup section : Setup general behavior of the addon on Blender startup
- Cache files (alembic and usd) can be sequential (one file per frame for animation). This is not supported for now. If any user has some sample sequential cache files to test the addon, it could be implemented quickly.
