When some operations are done, the file chooser isn't "live" updated. #46

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When some operations are done, for example:
  * mounting or umounting new devices/filesystems
  * creating/deleting/renaming new files in the current folder, when this
is done within other apps.
the file chooser isn't "live" updated.

You might want to way for java 7 for this. There is going to be a new filesystem
watcher api as part of nio2

Until Java 7 is released, we may use the naive approach described here:

Also the bookmarks should be updated (~/.gtk-bookmarks)

The following three paths should be listened for changes:
  * /media
  * ~/.gtk-bookmarks
  * <current folder>

To see the implementation details look for all references of
"FileWatcher.theFileWatcher()".
