Re-loading mapping file

Re-loading mapping file
Answer

Hi,
I've been setting up my own mapping files and have hit an (intermittent) problem.
I have used Excel to create a mapping file, loaded a pathway and annotated it. Everything works fine.
If I add further mapping info to the mapping file, I cannot reliably get MapMan to read in the new version - it seems to have an old version cached somewhere. I have removed then reloaded it - this has sometimes worked.
If I call the file something different, it reads in fine.
Is there a way to force an update?
Thanks for your help

What version of MapMan do you use?
I know there was an update mapping issue with reloading on the same day. This should have been resolved by now.

Thanks for the rapid response.
I am using 1.8.0 but I realise that you've recently released 1.8.1. I'd not paid attention and hadn't realised that the executable file had changed name from MapMan to Image Annotator - hence I thought I was running the most up-to-date version, but wasn't.
I'll try 1.8.1 and see if this solves my problem.
Thanks for your help.
