Load image / external file bug

Works for me in r196 with NW 0.12.0 alpha1. Can you test there as well?

I did, since this problem also affects a project of mine - it doesn't work - perhaps you aren't following the instructions. Here's a visual:

If we open a file, then try to open the "same file" (no matter if it has had changes or not) it simply doesn't load again.

The same issue occurs when loading external XML files, so I don't think it's just an image bug. Makes me kind of wish we could flush a tag after loading data into/from it manually.

Original .capx link is 404 now, so I can't investigate this bug report any further. Closing, will reopen if new link provided.
