Comment (by leavengood):
Yes, watching for the file name change is the plan. The reason this has
not been done yet is apparently no one else has been interested, and I
have not had much time for Haiku for a while. I hope to be able to work on
ShowImage again soon.
But besides the above there is a more technical excuse: the structure of
ShowImage code makes this fairly difficult. The ShowImage view and window
which actually display the image don't have the necessary knowledge about
the file. My plan is to introduce an `ImageModel` or similar idea to
represent the image data, and that can "own" the file information and
watch for file name changes, etc.
Doing this will allow for solving several other longstanding bugs in
ShowImage as well.
I hope I can do this before the next release, which probably will be Beta
3.
