Debugger feature request - clear cache command

As noted in various posts, the Roku DVP nicely caches images pulled from a server.
In a production environment this is exactly what you want.

I a debug environment, though, it can be a real nuisance.
The addition of a clear cache command to the debugger would fix the problem.

Thanks

Re: Debugger feature request - clear cache command

You could add some debug code to force images to reload when you are testing. Some techniques are listed here viewtopic.php?f=34&t=32159&p=202936.

Re: Debugger feature request - clear cache command

True. But then I'd have to remember to remove that stuff before release.
As a long-time professional software developer I learned long ago that using the same code for production and development is an important part of code maintainability.
It's better to add debug/development functionality to debuggers and the like.

So, my feature request stands.

That being said, thanks for the link 🙂 It's a way around the issue until Roku gives us a way in the debugger or elsewhere.
