Bug ID: 367529
Summary: make "reload" refresh all directories, not only the
one in focus
Product: krusader
Version: 2.4.0-beta3 "Single Step"
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: m...@fork.pl
Reporter: j22...@gmail.com
In TotalCommander, there is a great option to force refresh of the contents of
a directory (eg when new files are added, or timestamp is changed, etc.). There
is even an option to force refresh when the application is in the background.
Ideally Krusader would have those. But in principle, it would be great to have
an option to "autorefresh" without the user having to reload every time.
In the current state of affairs, every time I produce a new file (eg print to a
PDF), I don't see it immediately. I have to press Ctrl+R to "reload". This is
rather cumbersome, but even more because this _only reloads the panel in focus_
Therefore if I had the bad luck of having the wrong panel in focus I have to
bring it first into focus (eg. click or tab), and only then I can refresh the
contents of the directory.
A working "autorefresh" or similar option would save all this.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Open krusader with two panels (right and left sides).
Open any file (eg text document) with your favorite application.
1. Make any change (using a non-krusader application) to the directory (eg in
the left side), for example print the file to a PDF and place it (from the
print dialog) into the left side panel
2. krusader does not show the new file
3. go to krusader and pressing Ctrl+R will refresh ONLY if the left panel is in
focus.
4. if the right panel was in focus, then click within the left side, and press
Ctrl+R again. Only now it reloads and shows the change (eg newly created PDF
file).
Actual Results:
Only the focused panel reloads
Expected Results:
All visible panels refresh their contents
Ideally, there would be an option to force krusader to show any change to any
panel in any case, even when krusader is out of focus.
Note: I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior, I think it's not super
intuitive so I'm marking as bug. But maybe I'm wrong..
