It would be nice to have a button to refresh a specific object, or the
avatars.dat file. Useful for making changes in the .rwx files when fine
tuning your world, and cleaning up the occasional bad masks that seem to
crop up from time to time. Doesn't sound difficult from a technical point
of view, and definately useful.

Especially for those times when dumping your cache seems like swatting a
gnat with a sledge hammer.

I'm thinking the reason why this has never been implemented is because the database system AW uses (Faircom) can't dynamically refresh or something (or at least Roland doesn't know how to MAKE it do so), because this suggestion has been around for at least a year (I remember Queen Bee promoting it a lot anyway). But the real problem is COF needs more programmers. As great a programmer as Roland may or may not be, AW is just too much work for one person. I mean look how long it's taken AW to develop THIS far, and it's 4+ years old. Most other software develops MUCH faster. If only software developed as fast as hardware...
