This page is meant to display the current state of reloading content on several actions with caching enabled or disabled.


KDE 4.1 trunk r803905

The cache policy was set to "use cache" with a cache cleared before and big enough to fit everything. As to printing I printed everything to PDF as I didn't have that much spare paper. I hope that doesn't actually influence the tests I did.

  • (1) in the caching test, gvpart wouldn't show reloaded/updated pictures while okular and khtmlimage did.

Summary

As it seems everything except switching the view does not reload the content you are viewing. Switching the view should behave the same so this might be considered a bug. When having the cache enabled, the gvpart doesn't show any updates but keeps showing the old version which is a bug as well. Also on cachin

Summary

The behaviour is a little different on trunk. Regarding images it's noticeable that gvpart displays images correctly and not an older, cached version.
