It's a fairly small thing, but it feels like I'm manually refreshing the node-inspector tab in chrome a million times a day, and there must be a better way.

When a file changes, and node restarts, and node-inspector detaches from target -- is there a way for it to automatically re-attach itself?

This question is a duplicate of How can I make node-inspector restart when node is restarted?. See the accepted answer for a workaround solution using GreaseMonkey.

There is also a GitHub issue filled in the Node Inspector project: #266.
