Update a visible toolbar

Is there a way to "refresh" a toolbar that is currently in use (visible)?

What I've noticed:

  • TOOLBAR IMPORT cannot replace an existing toolbar.
  • Replacing the toolbar file does work, but there is no way to update the changes in the toolbar without resorting to scripting. And there will still be a flicker (you have to look the current toolbar state, close it and reopen it in their previous state if any).
  • A new argument like TOOLBAR UPDATE would work here.

Closing & re-opening the toolbar is the only way at the moment, I think.

Is this for a script that generates its own dynamic toolbar?

Most likely, yes.
It would also be useful, for example, when automatically sharing toolbars between machines.

We'll add the Toolbar RELOAD command for this in the next update.
