Button to disable URL whitelist/cache

When creating clothes or texturing a mesh, switching the image is very annoying.
You would need to upload it to roblox as a decal or put it in the content folder for rbxasset://.

There are 2 ideas that would be very helpful:

  • A button to disable the whitelist, which has to be pressed everytime studio opens (security).
    Once it’s pressed (or toggled on?), any url, including C:/stuff can be used for content urls.
    It’s also useful for quickly testing images from google (free images sites, I mean).
  • An option somewhere (button, in Settings, …) to disable the asset cache.
    Currently, the “easiest” way to test clothes is putting it in the content folder.
    (well, could also upload the decal, poluting the inventory and just being annoying)
    Only, once an image is loaded, it is cached, forcing to rename the image when it’s updated.
    Actually it should probably be a button “Clear cache”.
    Otherwise it would be something like “whenever a new instance uses this content url, clear the cache of it”.

wud be useful, much gud
(Requested out of need since developing with images is a huuuuuuuge pain)

EDIT: WAIT WAT.
Since when does studio reload image assets when they change on the disk?
This is game changing! tnx for whoever added that
(actually since when is this a thing? why wasn’t there a party?)

Only when you enable this:


Yes please. The studio folder gets deleted every time ROBLOX updates, so if you’re testing anything, it’ll always be deleted when studio updates which is bad. Your solution is bad though. There’s no need for some super security check for something so insignificant. Sure, people can check if you have an outdated version of Java god forbid, but even then they still have to convince you to download a malicious program. Still, for the paranoid, it’d be fine if plugins couldn’t get out of the studio folder, but manually inputting an ID could.

Already enabled, not sure if I did that or that’s enabled by default.
But it’s definitly new, right?

Not enabled by default.

Nope. Been around for a while.

Hug pains are the best pains :stuck_out_tongue:
