Update detection for LOAD IMAGE node

[DocChopper]

As I am relying really heavily on ControlNet workflows to bring my drawings and sketches as templates into Comfy. I often tinker and finetune said templates if I see fit. But it can be time consuming, to alway load the images anew into your workflow. Especially when they are also used for masking.

A feauture, that lets the LOAD IMAGE node detect if a loaded image has been changed. And maybe add some kind of "refresh source file" button or something. That be terrific. Also for any IMG2IMG workflow.

Thanks for considering.

You can press "R" to refresh

That may refresh the node. But it does not update any changes to a loaded picture.

The problem is the preview, because if you edit and save the image from an external software, you don't even need to hit refresh:

Edit-Image.mp4

But to be fair, I think that when you refresh, the previews should update as well.

I've opened a feature request in the frontend repo, let's see if it's possible to refresh the preview just by pressing "R":

Since the issue has been moved to the front repo, I am closing this issue.
