Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux When moving files through a medium other than Dolphin I am noticing that the files do not update unless the application is reloaded. For example, when downloading a file using Google Chrome, the file does not appear in an open dolphin window until after I have reloaded the application. Another example: I have been writing a python program that organizes a large amount of files using shutil.move() and witnessing this behaviour in quite a big way. At first I thought it was my program acting up, however, a simple ls showed that the files had actually moved and Dolphin had just not updated. Again, reloading Dolphin fixed the problem. I had a suspicion I had also seen this behaviour when using the Konsole to move files around, however, I am a little uncertain about this and was not able to replicate it when I tried. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Appears to happen sometimes with: Google Chrome Happens consistently with: Python Google Chrome: 1) Open /home/yourhome/Downloads 2) Download something in to the folder Python: << Open dolphin at ~ >> 1) Open the konsole. 2) echo "hello" > hello.txt 3) python 4) import shutil 5) shutil.move("/home/<yourusername>/hello.txt", "/home/<yourusername>/Downloads/hello.txt") Actual Results: The files remained as they were, however, an ls ~/Downloads and ls ~ showed that they had in fact been moved. Expected Results: Updated, showing how the directories looked like after the change. I am using the Kubuntu backports repo as KDE 4.6 has not yet been packaged with a release.
Oh, I would also like to point out that I was able to reproduce this 100% of the time with the python shutil.move() statement.
I've been having this problem with Gentoo for ages. Anything I save when using Pan newsreader doesn't appear in dolphin until I kill it and restart. The files show up in any terminal with ls, it seems that dolphin doesn't update.
Hi, I've experienced this issue when (re)building a rpm package. The output (in Fedora) is stored in the so called BUILDROOT. Dolphin partly shows the output or not at all. ls -al confirms that it's in place. Pressing F5 (reload) makes no difference. Restarting Dolphin 'solves' this issue. I'm using Dolphin 2.0 (kde 4.8.2) Martin Kho
I tried the python test given above and I cannot reproduce this with either Dolphin not Konqueror in KDE 4.10.4. The newly created file shows up as soon as it is moved using the shutil command.
Do you still have this issue with KDE 4.10 or higher?
