Created attachment 135117 [details] Screenshot of Kate and Dolphin SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a file on the local filesystem 2. Switch to the Projects view on the left 3. Create a file in the filesystem 4. Click the refresh icon OBSERVED RESULT The tree view doesn't update. EXPECTED RESULT The tree view should show the newly created file. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.10.4 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Files are on the local root ext4 filesystem.
I think that's the intended behavior of the project plugin. From what I can gather, only the files tracked by the supported source control systems (e.g. git) are shown there. For example, build folders will not be shown unless a `git add build` && `git commit -m "Add build folder"` is done. For a "live" tracking of the current folder, there is the "File System Browser" plugin. Although it does not automatically show the current project folder, it has a manual "Current Document Folder" button and also automatically reloads the view when new files are created.
Created attachment 135638 [details] Project view showing newly added untracked file I think https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/merge_requests/234/diffs fixes this (the newly added file is listed under <untracked>). That said, it will only show newly added files and the listing only persists for a specific session.
