Description DrSlony 2013-10-20 11:22:17 UTC

Dolphin does not refresh the directory when you go back to it, so if a folder or file was created in som other program, Dolphin does not see it until you refresh.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1- Open Dolphin, go to ~/pictures If you use split-view, make sure both views are looking at something other than ~
2- In a console, mkdir ~/foo
3- In Dolphin, go back to ~
Actual Results:  
~/foo is not shown.

Expected Results:  
~/foo should be shown.

F5 to reload, then it appears.

Thanks for the bug report, but I cannot reproduce the problem.

This means that the problem is either specific to your system or your distribution, or that some details are missing from your bug description (like choosing a particular view mode, or anything else that is needed to reproduce the bug).

In the latter case, it would be helpful if you could add some details that enable us to reproduce the problem. Thanks for your help.

I used split-pane with details view mode in both panes.
If you still cannot reproduce, I can record a screencast which should show any relevant info I failed to provide here.

Thanks, but I can still not reproduce the problem.

Comment 4 Dawit Alemayehu 2013-11-11 13:19:38 UTC

I cannot reproduce this either.

Comment 5 DrSlony 2013-12-04 22:33:16 UTC

No point in making a screencast as the steps to reproduce are clear. I'll wait for 4.12 and then get back to you here.

Comment 6 DrSlony 2014-09-15 14:03:08 UTC

Reproduced exactly as described in comment 0 in 4.14.0, however!
When I tried this using /tmp/dolphin/pictures and /tmp/dolphin/foo I could not reproduce. I tried twice. Then I tried again in ~, and I reproduced. Maybe the mount options are important?

My mount options are:
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,commit=0)
/dev/sda3 on /home type ext4 (rw,nodev,nosuid,commit=0,user)

Marking as "4.13.2" because "4.14.0" is not available in the "Version" combobox at the time of writing.

The issue described in comment #0 works for me with KDE Frameworks 5.45 and Dolphin 18.04.
