Updating

I love the new feature to "update only when source has changed". However I have some suggestions on how to improve it. I know you aren't working on Sunrise anymore, but perhaps my comments will apply to the new reader & conduit.

Have auto-updates always respect this option, but make manual updates ignore it. This way you can change a setting on a particular document and F5 it. Right now, if this option is checked and you want to for example enable images that were disabled, in order to update the doc you have to disable this feature, enable images, hit ok, hit F5, wait till finished, then open properties and re-enable the "update only" option.

In addition, I don't understand why this option is even an option. I think it should be made global and always enabled (unless someone goes into an advanced options dialog). I feel this is not the sort of option that people will ever change unless they have an unusual problem. Turn it on always, and you'll speed up the update time for everyone. If somebody wants to force an update, they simply Update or Update all.

While on the topic of updates, I have no idea what Update Fully is. I've never had a need to use it.
