changes to the active file?
No, that's not possible.
The web preview has been neglected because, well, I rarely use it,
and the various requests indicate that people really want a full
Safari, perhaps even with some Firefox features (cookie editor,
javascript error log), and having it go through apache -- and the net
result would be that the only difference between this and just use
cmd-R for save + reload Safari/Firefox, is, that the cmd-R would
happened periodically.
So clearly the better route would be to allow a way to setup periodic
events and/or allow a plugin to be notified on document changes (and
factor the web preview out into a plugin, hoping others would make it
into more of a browser, if that's desired).
I do however have some improvements planned, since I consider some
parts of the current web preview broken, but for a full browser, I
think that should be delegated to an actual browser :)
