Sioyek not reloading automatically on macOS

[Ruboss39]

Hi,

When I use Sioyek as a pdf-viewer with Vimtex, Sioyek sometimes does not reload the pdf automatically. In such a case, I switch to the Sioyek window and type in :reload, to manually reload the PDF.

Usually, when I have recently started Sioyek, Sioyek automatically reloads the PDF when the PDF is changed/updated. After 5 minutes or so, I need to reload manually. Is there a setting I am missing or so?

Also, what does :reload_config do?

Is this on the main branch or the development branch? I think this is probably fixed in the development branch. reload_config reloads the prefs_user and keys_user config files. We usually reload the automatically when they are changed but this command is for cases where automatic reloading doesn't work for whatever reason.

This is on the main branch.

I had the same trouble and solved it with reinstall sioyek.
