A button for reloading the current decal, and if possible the current billboard/object texture, would be really useful.
Apart from that I would really like a button that reloads only the values from the decals, statues, billboards, lightning and tileinfo text files along with the shadingx2.
Maybe have two buttons, one for reloading the values in the text files and the shadingx2 along with the current decal/billboard/texture, whichever mode the editor is in, and one for a complete track reload with textures, terrain and all.
I for one wouldn't mind if the complete reload takes the same time as a complete game restart, just as long as it doesn't require any user input.
If I had to choose one button I would go for the complete track reload.

Re: Shading Refresh
Nice suggestion, up, don't forget...
- Refresh /reload could be usefull for config. file too, we could use external apps for bike settings management, pleaaaase !
- Using a 'last track used' variable maybe usefull, track selection is lost when you leave the track list, you have to find your current edited track on multiple pages each time you want to 'refresh' actually.
Or is there a command line to load a track by default in editor ?

--track <trackdir>
Where <trackdir> is the track folder.

A long, long time ago it was the only way to select a track!
