How to refresh the Tnsnames without restarting?

I like to refresh the tnsnames in PL/SQL developer without having to restart it. Is this possible?

If not, could you add it please?
 
I have added this to the list of enhancement requests. Note that you can use database names you have added to the tnsnames.ora file without restarting PL/SQL Developer. They will just not show up in the database selection list.
 
For my setup, it looks like I have to restart to get the name to be recognized. The difference might be that I use a tnsnames.ora file and in the same directory I have a foonames.ora file that I reference in the tnsnames.ora file using:

IFILE = C:/path/to/network/admin/foonames.ora

foonames.ora gets changed daily as a scheduled task grabs new tnsnames for new VM's as they are created, and then puts the new names into that file. Any way I can get that to load without needing to restart pl/sql?
