Description Caleb Cushing 2009-11-09 04:20:33 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

very simply put if you follow a symlink to a directory and you add a new file to that directory from say konsole, dolphin will not see the new file unless you start another instance.

test case

mkdir -p test/test
cd test
ln -s test lntest

now open a split pane dolphin to with one pane open to test/test and the other open to test/lntest

touch test/test.txt

attached screenshot shows my results

SVN commit 1048853 by dfaure:

Cheat a bit with the root item: give it the view URL, rather than the dirlister url
(e.g. because KDirLister now resolves symlinks)

SVN commit 1064817 by dfaure:

Fix 213799 again (kio doesn't notice changes in a symlink-to-a-directory) without
introducing the 219547 crash in treeviews (due to KDirModel seeing unexpected resolved urls).

The new strategy is: rather than resolve the url right away (and emit wrong items),
we just store the "resolved_path -> known_path(s)" association in a QHash, and look that up
when we are notified of changes.

Fixed for: 4.4 RC1
