reload an existing image from a file

If you end up mucking up an image using pixel manipulation - you can't reload the image from a file - you can only load it in as another image and then this involves having to alter scripts with new image name

Here's possible way to deal with this:
  1. Delete the old image from the images tab
  2. Reload the image from the file
  3. Rename the newly loaded image, if necessary

Immediate reaction was I've already reported that there is no option to rename an image

Then I thought - John wouldn't be telling me this is there wasn't an option

So I searched - still couldn't find any click/right-click/ctrl-click/alt-click option

Just about to reply when I tried just editing the image name insitu :)

It never occurred to me that the Scratch feature that I've used for all these years would work in GP #LOL :)

PS
Would still like an explicit image re-load please :) (I'm OK with workaround but I think needed for classroom teaching)
