In my case I VNC to a remote machine where Lubuntu runs. Sometimes the file manager runs for days without this problem, but once it starts, the problem persists. While writing this comment I had the idea to "killall pcmanfm" => works again!
BTW: This is not the only "sometimes"-issue I have with PCManFM: When I try to move one or more files to another directory per drag & drop it SOMETIMES happens that an error message pops up that the file doesn't exist. It's funny that the details of the error message then show the file name of a file I moved successfully before. Repeating the step then always works. Maxbe I'll file a bug sometimes if I can find ANY system for these occurences... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020874 Title: Sometimes pcmanfm doesn't refresh folder when folder's content is changed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/1020874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
