*feature request* User script to auto-update the part appearence when the file code is altered

[Jean-Philippe Ouellet]

This an be done by having a shell command that enables LDraw to alter the grapic when a change in the script is returned to LDraw.

To do it properly would require hooking into filesystem events, which is no simple shell script, and is not portable across different systems.

What you're trying to do can be accomplished with LDView, simply set "Polling" to "Auto-update immediately" and then open the LDraw file in your favorite (possibly text/possibly LDraw-specific) editor. Then simply have the LDView window visible on your screen at the same time as your editor, and whenever you save the file in your editor it will automagically be re-rendered in LDView, no manual reloading necessary.
