Refresh avatar images?

Asked by IkoTikashi

Is there any way to refresh/reload certain Twitter avatar images? I changed the photo of a Twitter account, but Gwibber still shows the old image. Restarting Gwibber didn't do it, nor does refreshing.

Avatar images get refreshed/changed, when a new post by that user comes in.

Gwibber locally caches avatar images to reduce network load. Some services, such as Twitter, don't provide an easy way to tell when the user's profile image has changed. The only way to force a reload is to delete the image from the cache. You can flush the entire contents of the cache and force all of the profile icons to be reloaded by deleting the contents of ~/.cache/gwibber/images.
