[QGIS-Developer] [Qgis-user] Refresh layer at interval

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

I think you hit an old issue:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/28282
and
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/28744

Not sure if I can tackle it, but I can give it a try.
If a core-dev has a clue, please let me know...

I think this should work, as this makes it supereasy to have a 'moving map'..

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

I don't see any changes neither when I remove a point from the json file on my local drive, nor if I change an attribute. If I press F5 then the canvas refreshes and it automatically loads the new data and I can see the changes. Is this the behavior that is wanted or am I misunderstanding the function of this tool? It seems like the data is cached somewhere?
