Can You Reload a Texture in Daz Studio?

When working on / editing textures for something used in Daz Studio, it seems I can't find a place to tell DS to reload that texture. Is this function hidden somewhere?
It seems the textures are all loaded at start up and I'm only successful if I save and reload the entire scene... which can take a while on a big scene.

the only way I've found to do this is to use Clear Undo Stack which is a script by AdamR.

make sure your texture is not applied to anything, hit clear undo stack, and re apply the texture. I know of no other way.
In the upper right hand corner of the Surfaces pane...click the drop down box
About half way down...
Refresh Images (ctrl I)
And
A check box 'Automatically Refresh Images'
Now, one word of warning...sometimes, the autorefresh will cause tdlmake to start looping and create as many copies of the image as there is space on your hard drive. Since these are in the DS temp folder, they will go away when you close DS (unless it crashes...then you may need to manually remove them).
I use the CTRL i to refresh my textures all the time when I am playing around with editing them.
