force reload from command line or settings?

#1

If I already have a file open, it’d be nice if calling libreoffice --view (or something like it) on the same file would reload the file. As best as I can tell, there is no way to force that behavior - no command line option or setting. Does anyone have a suggestion to help? Thanks!

(If it helps understand why I want this, I’m generating .odts from another tool, and using libreoffice (in this case) as “just” a viewer to make sure that my changes in the other tool are correct.)

You can also install OpenOffice and open the same file with LO and OO.

No, I’m doing this from a script, so some programmatic way to reload is necessary - can’t just switch apps by hand.

It is almost 2 years later now. I am having the same wish.
Did you meanwhile get a working solution?
