Version: (using KDE 4.2.96) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Kate's built-in file manager has no folder refresh option. Workaround: create new directory and then delete it.
the filesystem browser is in kdelibs.
I'm not sure whether this really is a KDirOperator bug. The reload action exists and you can access it with m_dirOperator->actionCollection()->action("reload"). So it's just a matter for Kate to display this action. You can even trigger it with F5, which does not work in Kate due to a shortcut clash.
That is correct, however the reload option should be in the default context menu, so apps using KDirOperator are not forced to copy the code among them. So lets do it in the central place.

Add a "Reload" menu item to KDirOperator's context menu Summary: Add a {nav Reload} menu item to `KDirOperator`'s context menu, so clients that don't display a toolbar but might need to refresh views manually (such as Kate's Filesystem Browser view} can do it. FIXED-IN: 5.46 Test Plan: Enable Kate's Filesystem Browser plugin and right-click in it: {F5808015} It also appears in more common `KDirOperator` clients, such as the open/save dialogs: {F5808016} Reviewers: #frameworks, hein Reviewed By: hein Subscribers: maximilianocuria, dhaumann, rkflx Tags: #frameworks Maniphest Tasks: T8552 Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D12215 M +1 -0 src/filewidgets/kdiroperator.cpp https://commits.kde.org/kio/5a2c49ae1580ad4fe23255a68b6b2712db1979f2
