Smarter Image Refresh

Improvement Suggestion: Smarter Image Refresh in PixelLens

Often when using PixelLens alongside the debugger, the displayed image becomes outdated - especially during step-by-step debugging where each line modifies the image. This can also happen in other scenarios where memory values change after the image is initially rendered.

A useful enhancement would be to allow the image to automatically refresh when a memory change is detected. For example, it could check for changes every half a second. This feature could be implemented as:

An optional toggle (on/off) for auto-refresh.
A manual "Refresh" button for quick updates when needed.
This would significantly improve usability and make the tool more responsive to real-time changes.

Thanks for considering!

Hi, it's a good suggestion and I already have a mostly working implementation but I didn't get around to actually finishing it yet. There is even an event for that so it's not necessary to poll every few seconds.

I'll try to get an update out in the next few weeks, but I'm rather busy with other things at the moment (started a new job, too).

That's amazing!

I'm sure you'll do great in your new job! good luck! and all the best.
