MeshCentral image cache

[DaanSelen]

Hello all, I wanted to ask about the image cache MeshCentral uses. I see that when I alter the images in MeshCentral config.json it does not immediatly change, is it loaded somewhere into a cache? And how to clear that cache so I immediatly see it?

if you change anything inside config.json you MUST restart your meshcentral server/service

Yes I do this, but as an example, right now I have set an image which I changed (made darker) and made from jpg to png. However opening the browser in private and what measures I take, I still see the old image, specifically on Welcomepicture field.

where did you place the Welcomepicture image?
as it should be placed inside the meshcentral-data folder

Yes I did

"welcomePicture": "systemec_datacenter_background.png",
"welcomePictureFullScreen": true,

This is a part of the image:

This is the login screen:

The one on it right now was the previous image, which I took back. Darkened and reuploaded.

I changed nothing and it suddenly now changed.

just checked the source code and we dont do any caching as its commented out,
we just hand the browser whatever the file is,
its possible the browser is caching the file, as the web page just loads welcome.png
and then we actually hand back whatever file you set in config.json which can be jpg if you wanted it too
