Right now, there is an Object Refresh rate, which tells the AW browser to check any cached file beyond the specified number of minutes old for a newer version, but in addition to that I would like to see a Refresh Date setting such that any cached file not checked since before the specified date (and time) would be checked even if it is not older than the number of minutes specified by the object refresh rate.

This would be very useful in worlds where you want to be sure that people always have the latest files from the object path without having to set the object refresh rate low. In fact, you could set the object refresh rate unreasonably high and then just change the Refresh Date to the last time a file on the object path was changed. You wouldn't even have to change this setting when "new" files are added, because files that are not cached are checked for as needed, and it would also pave the way for setting up Active Worlds to be able to update an object in a person's cache when it is changed just by setting the date and time in the Refresh Date setting without them even having to exit the world and come back.
