spacefm does not refresh file listing of samba share #252

when I copy/move files into a mounted samba share I need to manually click the refresh button to get an updated file listing in the spacefm tab. is this normal or do I miss some configuration setting ?

This is by design. Because spacefm uses low level kernel functions for such detection and reading the results, detecting changes in network filesystems often causes performance problems, so is avoided.
