Description Raul Moratalla 2008-11-09 19:29:38 UTC
Version:           1.1 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 52.2", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.18-0.2-default

Hi, these are the steps to reproduce it:

- I have some folders and files in my home folder. There is an empty folder "test" and dolphin shows that has 0 elements.
- Select some files (3 for example), drag and drop these files to the folder "test".
- Select any option: copy or move the files to the folder.

After being copied these files current view shows that my folder "test" has 0 elements but that is not true, now has 3 files.

Should dolphin refresh the current view?
Comment 1 Peter Penz 2008-11-10 06:22:37 UTC
Thanks for the report. Is only the statusbar not refreshed or are the 3 new files also not shown in the view? Dolphin should refresh the view+statusbar automatically.
Comment 2 Raul Moratalla 2008-11-10 11:00:55 UTC
It's only the view.
Comment 3 Peter Penz 2008-11-10 20:52:12 UTC
Hmm, if the view is not updated then probably no fam daemon is running. Usually on SuSE distributions this daemon is running. Could you please check whether you've enabled the daemon? If this daemon is not running, than this issue will occur on all KDE applications showing a directory (file dialog, Konqueror, kate, ....) Thanks!
Comment 4 Raul Moratalla 2008-11-10 21:53:50 UTC
Hi, it seems that I forgot to upload two images that show the problem ;)

Fam daemon is installed and running.

Comment 7 Peter Penz 2008-11-11 07:27:51 UTC
Ah, thanks Raul for the screenshots, this is a different problem... I could not find the original bug report for this issue (it's assigned to kdelibs), but to solve this issue also a specific support from the filesystem must be given. If I remember correctly, one person is working on this topic already and I hope it will be fixed until KDE 4.2. I'll leave this issue open until I'm 100 % sure that this issue got fixed (or until I found the original bug-report ;-)).
Comment 8 Dotan Cohen 2009-05-27 08:53:31 UTC
On KDE 4.2.3 I can reproduce the issue on Kubuntu 9.04 with the ext3 file system. Should I file an issue with Kubuntu?
Comment 9 FiNeX 2010-08-02 10:52:46 UTC
I also remember about something assigned to kdelibs, anyway I can reproduce this bug using KDE 4.4.5 (Archlinux + Linux 2.6.34.1)
Comment 10 FiNeX 2010-08-02 10:58:41 UTC
Found it: bug #207361 . But it was a different problem which has been fixed
Comment 11 Mark 2010-09-05 17:38:22 UTC
i'm not able to reproduce this since i don't have the number of elements below the folder name. Did this got removed in kde 4.5? ?otherwise, where is the option to show the number of elements in a folder? ( can' find it )
Comment 12 chops 2011-01-10 14:45:13 UTC
I'm having this bug for kde 4.6 rc2.

For 4.5 I rarely ever had to refresh , but with the rc2 I have to refresh almost
all the time.

Archlinux 64bit
Comment 13 chops 2011-01-13 00:15:59 UTC
I added the famd module to my module list and everything seems fine now.
archlinux's wiki has nothing about needing to start famd.

kde 4.6 rc2
archlinux
Comment 14 chops 2011-01-13 13:22:02 UTC
problems back and I can't really tell what causes it. Even if i move to a different folder and back the view does not refresh; must be cached.

I'll look in to it some more.
Comment 15 chops 2011-01-18 14:42:16 UTC
The problem seems to mostly occur from downloaded files for me. Stuff I download through the browser ( I use chrome, opera, and firefox) and also through the terminal.
Comment 16 Dotan Cohen 2011-01-28 09:46:02 UTC
I can confirm that one of the ways to reproduce this bug is to have Dolphin open to a folder in which Firefox is downloading a file. Firefox will create two files:
newFile.part
newFile

The user can watch in Dolphin as the file size of newFile.part increases and newFile remains at 0 bytes. However, when the file is completely downloaded Firefox copies newFile.part to newFile and deletes newFile.part. Dolphin does not reflect this: the Dolphin view shows both files still existing with newFile at 0 bytes until the user presses F5.

This is now in KDE 4.6
Comment 17 Dotan Cohen 2011-02-03 12:18:45 UTC
Additionally, the view is not refreshed after decompressing a rar archive in Dolphin's "Extract Here" context menu item.
