I just installed BlueGriffon after years of using Amaya. What a
pleasure this editor is to use. I just love it! Thank-you so much for
making it freely available.

One small thing I have not been able to figure out is how to refresh a
file. For example, say I have an HTML file open for editing in
BlueGriffon and then, using a separate text editor, I change the .css
file that is linked to in my HTML file. I'd like the .css file changes
to be recognized by BlueGriffon's WYSYWIG editor window. I expected to
find a Refresh button, a reload feature, or a Re-open Current File
feature but can't see one.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

I've been using bluegriffon for the last month or so - and I too love
it! However, I've been having the same niggling problem - changes to
an external stylesheet file don't get reflected in the wysiwyg display
of bluegriffon (until the file is closed and reloaded.) On the basis
of the status for the RFE (fixed and patches placed in the source
tree), I've just rebuilt bluegriffon from the trunk - but I'm still
seeing the problem. (I've verified that the patched files seem to be
present in my source tree.)

(If I preview the file in firefox, I see the results of the stylesheet
change - but not in the bluegriffon wysiwyg display.)

Any thoughts?

That's implemented in 1.4, what version are you using ???
In 1.4, if an resource is local to the filesystem, linked to
the document and modified, BlueGriffon reloads it. It even offers
a dialog to warn about it.

Hi Daniel,

I downloaded and built from the trunk: version 1.4, build
20120115160844. I used these instructions:

http://bluegriffon.org/pages/Build-BlueGriffon

I was working on a document with a stylesheet specified by a <link>
definition in the header: when I updated the stylesheet file, the update
wasn't reflected in bluegriffon until I restarted it.

I'm building and using it under CentOS 5, which probably isn't the ideal
environment.

Regards,
Peter
