Reload Image by Jens Kafitz


  • Where to find it:


    • Image Manager Palette / Right Mouse Click on Image
    • Main Window / Extension Pack / Image Manager /


  • Shortcut: (unassigned, use "Edit / Shortcuts" to assign)




Reloading with multiple images selected


By default Mari will import loaded images into your project, meaning that even if the image on disc is changed,

within Mari the change will not be reflected.


Extension Pack 5 adds the ability to reload an image from its original path.

If the image is used in a Node or Layer (Tiled, Triplanar, Axis Projection etc.) the updated

image will propagate to the nodes it is used in.


You can reload multiple selected images at once




Update Current vs Update All



When reloading Images you are presented with choices how to update the images in places they are used.


  • Current Object will only exchange the reloaded Images in Nodes on the currently selected object. Both the original

and reloaded Image will exist in the Image Manager



  • All Objects will exchange the reloaded Images in Nodes on all objects in your project.

Depending on the chosen option for Remove old Version from Image Manager either both the original

and reloaded Image will exist in the Image Manager or just the reloaded Image.
