Hi all,
I have a clockface and I need to update an image. I get the image from our webserver, unfortunately when I save the new image to the private data I used the same name ; the clockface does not update the image it has in its cache.
Is there a way to get the clockface to use this new image without using a different name in the private data file?
Geoff
Yes I know I could just same with a different name, but hoping I can just invalidate the clock data
Works:
- Download image and save with "name A"
- Update the href
- Download image and save with "name B"
- Update the href
Does not work
- Download image and save with "name A"
- Update the href
- Download different image and save with "name A"
- Update the href

This is a known issue, but we do have a fix planned for this in the future. In your working example, don't forget to unlink the previous file, or you will eventually run out of storage space.

I'm running in the same issue.

Try using an intermediate image file. Set the href to point to a small black image momentarily, then point it back to your original file.

I am also running into the same issue.
Setting the href to an intermediate image does not seem to fix the issue.
I've been trying all sorts of things to try to get this to work but have run out of ideas.
Are there any other possible solutions for this?
