Does not refresh folders automatically #39

Closed probonopd closed 1 year ago

probonopd commented 3 years ago

Filer currently does not refresh the contents of folders automatically as it should. One has to manually press F5 to reflect changes in folder contents.

I suspect it has to do with the QKqueueFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: open: No such file or directory message that we keep seeing on helloSystem.

I have not seen the QKqueueFileSystemWatcherEngine message in a while. Has this been resolved?

probonopd commented 3 years ago

Yes.

FreeBSD% touch ~/aaaaaa
FreeBSD% rm ~/aaaaaa

automatically gets reflected properly now.

THANK YOU.

Qt creator used to really annoy me by filling the Filer window with random filenames.

probonopd commented 3 years ago

Can you confirm that it works in the latest experimental ISO?

probonopd commented 2 years ago

Looks like this is still/again broken...

Window is refreshed when a text file is deleted/trashed from within Filer
But window is not refresed if same file is created
Also, Filer doesn't notice files created by other applications

Probably some watch functionality is broken.

Test with pcmanfm-qt for comparison.

Also compare with my "from scratch" rewritten Filer
