    To say it frankly, i'm not sure if i'll be able to get me understood, but let's try anyway.

    I've just installed a dual screen with an old CRT monitor i found, so let's put this in situation : I'm texturing a model in 3dsmax 7, so i got photoshop on one screen and 3dsmax7 on the other, well what i wanted to do is when i save my texture in photoshop the texture render in 3dsmax changes PRONTO into the one i've just saved.

    Well it kinda works right now, i but i have to activate the 3dsmax7 window by clicking on it to make the new texture appear.

    Is there any other way to do that more directly ? Like i paint my texture in photoshop and i see the changes directly in 3dsmax ?

    no - you have to 'activate' max in order for it to check for changes in the file and then update.

    sorry

    Perhaps alt+tab to activate it faster?

    I believe It's possible to code a script to make the viewport refresh from time to time.

    Maybe check:

    Or even make a request there, dunno.
