Yes, this was never meant to be a feature. It was caused by always flushing the cache for every single load of Preview which slowed things down and was wasteful.

Now when editing a css or svg file in Sigil, it tells Preview it needs to clear the cache.

So I will look into seeing if there is a way for external editors changing an svg, css, etc file to tell Preview it needs to empty the cache. I really do not want to have to clear the cache for every load of Preview as that is wasteful, slow, as Sigil's Preview can reload after every editing change causing thousands of unneeded cache flushes.
