Problem this feature should fix
When working on assets (textures, models, scripts, shaders...), after making a change, the file needs to be reloaded manually, which isn't the most intuitive workflow.

Expected solution
We should implement a FileWatcher (in OvTools).
Use cases:

  • Reload a resource file that changed.
  • Invalidate/remove resources if they are deleted from disk
  • Update AssetBrowser when the file hierarchy changes
