Adjustable poll time for text-file check

[Paul Daniels]

Currently the freetype2 plugin has a fixed 1 second poll time for the checking of a text file to load new contents.

Can this be made available in the properties dialogue as an adjustable parameter (say, 100ms or greater) ?

I've done code modifications here on my own clone but I confess that I cannot seem to be able to get the parameter to appear in the properties dialogue for some reason (but everything else is functional). Clearly I'm missing the part for the Qt dialogue builder somewhere.

Regards,
Paul.

Having just dug through the code more, ignoring my inability to seem to get the parameter to show up on the properties dialogue yet; I am wondering if it'd be possible to have an additional read mode which just reloads the file contents regardless of the state of the "last modified" timestamp; eliminates some issues at the potential expense of more CPU time from needlessly reloading/building the text.
