Allow a refresh of cached icons #8
Description
Right now exists a minor, yet annoying issue in ATO (And most likely also BTLP).
The issue is, that icons that have been cached may not get updated whenever the corresponding PNG file has been altered.
As an example, when I create a file called example.png and use it inside a tab will ATO/BTLP generate a new icon to use in the tab list, which makes sense.
When I now alter the icon (f.e. change the background color) while keeping the name and configuration the same and then do a plugin reload is ATO/BTLP ignoring the changed file, forcing me to first stop the server/proxy, delete the cache file and start the server/proxy again.
A solution I had in mind would be to make ATO/BTLP force-refresh the cache whenever you reload the plugin while the cache file isn't present. Because as of right now are the plugins ignoring whether the file is present or not during a reload, which is annoying.
That way could icons get updated while you don't have to deal with stuff such as comparing the old/cached image with the new one to see if there are differences.
Another issue I noticed is, that icons may not load after they have been generated. Like while ATO/BTLP is generating the new icon using Mineskin is a loading animation displayed.
Usually, this icon would then be replaced with the generated one once it is available. But it can randomly happen that ATO/BTLP doesn't update the icon and the slot(s) stick with that loading animation.
A reload of the plugin does fix this, but it's still weird that this happens and should perhaps be looked into.
