Issue with changing -d (dst) in config.yaml -- old dst keep getting reused despite restart (root cause ID'd)

Would it make sense to poll the config file periodically to detect changes to the config file that could be incorporated while things are running (e.g., if config.yaml is changed then new plots use the updated config information and old jobs continue with the state they were started with)?

Hi, sorry this apparently wasn't adequately advertised, I believe I fixed this issue on the development branch with this commit:
3ecc764#diff-f46130ab3fffb840303f4e05537646305467f06d1e301348a45ac1b459301f39

I thought I'd generally recommended folks try the development branch, but maybe I need to better advertise that. Please try that out and see if it works for you.

It looks like the linked commit is now in main, so this issue can probably be closed?

As for

"Would it make sense to poll the config file periodically to detect changes to the config file"

This exists an issue of its own here:#254 so @wbuchanan you could subscribe to that.
