As Cyrille said, *please* use unidiffs (cvs diff -u <file>).  We can't look
through the entire file to find just the small changes you've made.

It is, however, a good point you're bringing up.  Instead of adding a
button, I would suggest that you make a check (using stat(2)) in
image_update_data() to see if the timestamp has changed, and store the
timestamp whenever the image is loaded.
