Hi,
it is good to have texture reload button...

Because at the moment to reload texture,
one should load any other texture and load same texture again.
(octane simply ignores just loading same texture).

It's very repetitive task while editing textures and hdri in external application.
So many point and click's for so simple action is more than annoying.

Or i misunderstood something with Octane UI...

Thats a good idea. I use the same procedure.
Have detected that sometimes the reload don´t work, the old texture is maybe in the cache...

I'll add my voice to this. It sometimes takes a few goes to reload a texture at the moment. I often find that swapping it for a texture in a different directory works but that may just be wishful thinking. A reload button would save a lot of faffing around.

I agree this would be an incredibly useful function, saving both time and sanity.
