Hi,

Description:

When I load a movie into jit.qt.movie, delete the movie and read a new movie with the same name from the same location, jit.qt.movie remembers the reference to the previous movie. In other words:
1) load movie.mov into jit.qt.movie, 
2) delete movie.mov (move it to trash), 
3) create a new movie.mov in the same location
4) load this new movie.mov into jit.qt.movie... it still loads the deleted movie.mov!


Expected behaviour:

When it receives a read message, jit.qt.movie should rebuild the reference to the provided path.


Steps to reproduce are inside this patch:

#P comment 31 53 446 196617 This example assumes you have two different movies to test with \, movie1.mov and movie2.mov;

Mac OS 10.4.11, Max 4.6.3, Jitter 1.6.3



I would be happy if someone could confirm. And.. does someone know a way around this?
