display -update 1 filename
Posted: 2015-11-18T07:28:54-07:00
In order to display a picture I used the command "display pic1.bmp" which works fine.
When trying the command "display -update 1 pic1.bmp" again a window pops up.
However, when I overwrite the file pic1.bmp by another picture with the command "cp pic2.bmp pic1.bmp" the ImageMagick-Window (showing the picture) is closed.
From the manual I would expect that the displayed picture would be refreshed (see man display):
-update seconds --> (detect when image file is modified and redisplay)
Any ideas what is going wrong?
Manny thanks in advance.
