So, I have a script in Python that outputs data as images. If I'm changing small cosmetic things I would normally export the image and re-open it over and over with Preview, to see the changes. This is slightly annoying.

Quicklook does refresh the image, but the refresh rate is quite slow, so sometimes I'm wondering if the image is updated at all.

Are there any apps/scripts that can re-open my image every X seconds, continuously, so I don't have to do it manually?

Edit: Tried with infinite loops in a shell script, but it wasn't pretty with refresh and window focus. Instead, I found that VS Code can do it right out of the box.
