@sdetweil
Are you saying to run chrome and put fil://~ in url?
:) ?

sdetweil

@emrhssla yes, just adding another way to verify that the file was changed… u reported it is ok…

@sdetweil When I click Refresh in Chrome, a picture that has been successfully changed appears.

Is there any way to restart a specific module?

@emrhssla i think this is a caching problem… the ‘file’ was already loaded…

see this discussion about adding a string to the end of the image filename to make it ‘unique’
thus not reading from cache

however, this will add a new image to be cached… eventually growing maybe beyond memory limits…
another way is to disable caching in electron

in MagicMirror/js/electron.js
add this line

function createWindow() {
    app.commandLine.appendSwitch('--disable-http-cache');  //< -------- added
	var electronOptionsDefaults = {
