pyvips.Image.new_from_file(imagefilepath) - keep loading the old file even if the image has changed about pyvips HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello @strangerism,

Yes, libvips keeps a cache of recent operations and returns old results if you repeat a call. This is usually a good thing, but in your case it's obviously not what you want.

You have a couple of choices:

1. Disable the cache. You can use pyvips.cache_set_max() to set the number of cached operations. Set it to zero to disable the caching system.
2. Use access="sequential". You could ask for the image to be streamed. You won't be able to reuse pixels, but the image won't be cached.

@jcupitt Thank you for the quick reply. Indeed, I have used access options and it works as I need it now.

I am closing this issue.

best wishes.
