Web inspector should offer a switch to watch the page and linked resources, if they use the file://-protocol, using inotify (or similar, depending on the platform). if a resource is changed, the page should reload. This would speed up the early phase of development using external editors immensely.

Closing as invalid, as this bug pertains to the old inspector UI and/or its tests. Please file a new bug (https://www.webkit.org/new-inspector-bug) if the bug/feature/issue is still relevant to WebKit trunk.
