Does anyone know why or how i can get the icon previews back on images textures. Ive seen this behavior before, but never really bothered about it. But working know on a scene and hardly any preview shows. I tried find missing images to relink them, rebuild data blocks. used python to loop over all images in bpy.data.images to reload each image.
Though images do reload, the icon preview when i select the image manually from the image dropdown menu. But doing this over and over again is crazy.
Am i missing something here?
I do see this message in the console, but i really daubt this causes previews not to be rendered
TIFFFetchNormalTag: Warning, ASCII value for tag "ImageDescription" does not end in null byte.

I started writing a bit of Py which forced loops over each image, set it to active in UV editor and then do the reload. This does work.
import bpy
class ImageTextures_OT_Reload(bpy.types.Operator):
bl_idname = "image_textures.reload"
bl_label = "Reload Iterative"
bl_description = "Reload iterative"
def execute(self, context):
for image in bpy.data.images:
for area in bpy.context.screen.areas:
if area.type == 'IMAGE_EDITOR':
img_list = list(bpy.data.images)
img = context.space_data.image
if img in img_list:
id = img_list.index(img)
if id+1 < len(img_list):
context.space_data.image = img_list[id+1]
print(image.name+"- Id: "+str(id+1))
bpy.ops.image.reload()
print("img reloaded")
return{'FINISHED'}
def img_tex_reload(self, context):
self.layout.operator("image_textures.reload",icon="FILE_REFRESH")
bpy.utils.register_class(ImageTextures_OT_Reload)
bpy.types.IMAGE_MT_image.append(img_tex_reload)
But guess what while testing it, i did a data-block clear and all of a sudden it started to load all my previews again. While in my working file it did not?!
