How to refresh gimp project when other program modifies opened .xcf?

Question

Lets say I have .xcf opened in gimp and then some other program (maybe gimp too) changes same .xcf file. How to programmatically (by linux signal, gimp plugin) autorefresh (automatically closing and opening project might do) gimp when this happens.

Answer 1

At the moment, there is no plug in for gimp that allows you to do so.

But you could create one. You just need to know the Python basics and maybe also read this post here. After that you'll easily be able to solve your probleme.
