This behaviour is common in many other applications e.g. pdf viewers but also in other image viewers. It can be useful when modifying or generating images by a script (for example working with gnuplot).
The setup is such that different backends for notification about file changes are supported and can be selected at compile time. A dummy backend and a backend using inotify are included.
Automatic reload can be disabled by a command line option.
