Is there a way to reload images so they display changes made to them?

[Matixannder]

Coming from image.nvim, I started to use this plugin because it is less buggy for displaying images inside a Kitty and TMUX and I loved it (so thank you very much for this tool btw).

The reason I ask this question is because I'm starting to use Inkscape for engineering drawings and sometimes I need to make some changes to drawings already finished to polish some details or resize the resulting image to something that fits better on the window's display. The problem is that I haven't found a way to do it without having to remove the cache images manually and then restarting the whole Neovim session.

The closest related thread I found about this same topic is this, so I got pretty confused thinking "oh so there is a way to reload the images". Now after looking for something for a while I'm thinking that maybe I misinterpreted what the issue and its corresponding fix meant.

The first idea I got was to create a script bound to a user command that would check if the cursor is over an image link
in markdown (of the type "", and then look for a match inside the cache folder and delete it and then perform a reload but as I said, I haven't found the way to do that.

Can you create an issue?

An issue for what specifically? Is it a feature already or not? Sorry for the how late there have been exams during this months on my country.

Don't worry, the chances that you'll be away longer than the folke on vacation are very low. I don't use images, but I don't think there's any way to reload an image without changing the file name. Of course, you can hack around this by renaming the file every time you make changes. Personally, I'll wait for image support to be implemented in the Neovim core before using it.
