Description Arne Keller 2025-02-27 15:22:52 UTC 
SUMMARY
After deleting and re-creating the directory opened in Gwenview, Gwenview does not display the new content.
Pressing F5 does not load the new directory either.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a directory in Gwenview
2. Delete and re-create the directory, add some images to it

OBSERVED RESULT
No images in Gwenview

EXPECTED RESULT
New directory is properly loaded and shown in Gwenview.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I looked for previous reports, but could not find any similar reports.
Gwenview did not log an error message or warning (besides some unresolved mime types at startup).

I can reproduce what was observed based on those steps.
