With CodeWatcher, do away with the "save �" switch to browser �" refresh" cycle.
CodeWatcher is a simple developer WebBrowser that automatically reloads its contents whenever a file in the base directory changes. It is the perfect tool if you are building Websites. Just give it a local html file to display and it will scan the folder for changes and reload appropriately.
CodeWatcher realizes whenever you save or rename or delete a file in your project directory, be it CSS, HTML, JPG, PNG, CFG, and automatically reloads your html so you can see the results
What's New
Version 1.0.1:
Added a loading bar to indicate when the app is loading a new site (for slow connections).
Fixed a bug that caused the default font to be in a different size than that of Safari.
Fixed the bug that would cause the app to not work if the sites to be watched contained spaces or non-ascii characters.
Fixed a typo in the menu
Requirements
Intel, Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.
Be the first to recommend a similar software title.
This is decent and useful; hardly a one star app. Forget AppleScript. 99-percent of Mac users won't bother with it to automate a reload. Forget the Safari Extension. It doesn't do the same thing. If you want to code and tweak and see a live preview and don't want to spend much money, CodeWatcher works as advertised. At 99-cents it's a bargain (consider workflow, time and effort, etc.).
For those who hate the Mac App Store, get used to it, folks. It's the future but it's here now. It won't be long before many very good Mac apps, including those from Apple, will ONLY be available on the App Store.
I'm sorry but you must be a huge jerk.

1. What rendering engine is this? Webkit?
2. If Webkit, does it provide Web Inspector (which I think is more complete than Firebug Lite).
