Automatically reloading the tool table

One of the things that I noticed is that, when using the tool table editor, it periodically checks to see if the file is different from the loaded values. The AXIS interface, however, doesn't. To reload the tool table, I have to pause/stop the program that is running (even when waiting on a tool change.)

It would be nice if the tool table editor could send a signal (via named pipe or some other IPC mechanism) to AXIS to command it to reload the table. That way, I can be sure that the values I've input are what would be used after the next tool change/compensation command.

Yes!
I need to reload the tool table TWICE to take effect in AXIS.
Why not reload the table after the editing?
It is not sutable for operator.
