A simple Blender addon which auto-reloads linked library .blend files when it detects that they have been modified.
- Download the latest
.zipfrom the releases page. - In Blender's User Preferences > Addons, click Install.
- Navigate to the downloaded zip and select it.
- Enable the addon.
This addon doesn't have a UI. Once it's enabled, linked libraries should just refresh automatically.
Uses watchdog to watch for file changes. This is automatically included in the release zip, so you only need to worry about this if you wish to run the unpackaged source code.
A script make_zip.sh is included which generates such a bundled .zip archive, though it isn't terribly robust.
