Consider: Optional Refresh Button #145

I sort of applied Apple's "it just works" philosophy to the refresh directory contents feature. There is an interval for how often to hit the API and reload the contents of the current directory. This keeps the front end and back end in sync.

It also uses a lot of bandwidth. For accessibility and performance reasons, you can set the interval to 0 or false and it won't happen. In which case, I'm thinking a refresh button should appear so that you can refresh the current directory. This would also sort of serve as visual feedback informing you that it's on you to refresh when you want, it isn't happening automatically for you.
