Hi,
I found that sometimes if I have opened file manager window (Dolphin) it does not refresh list. Example, if I already have Dolphin opened and then create file in Terminal - i need to press F5 (refresh) to see newly created file
Is there any setting for this or is anybody aware how to fix this issue?
Thanks
Someone else reported this, or something like it
Dolphin: What is the point of a reload button that does nothing?
But not happening here…

i think that posters problem was a little different, in that the user
said that even clicking reload didn’t show the newly created file…
the problem this poster describes is also not seen here (with the below
system) so i guess this one is either a damaged, corrupted or
misconfigured system…or, maybe a bug…
hard to tell…
@tosiara try adding a new test user, log out and then back in as the new
test user and see if the problem remains…if it does not then something
in your /home config files is flakey…if it persists, i don’t know
where to start…
but, you can start by telling us what operating system and desktop
environment and versions you are being used…and, did the system
always behave this way or did it ‘suddenly’ change?
and please show us the output of entering the following into a terminal
zypper lr -d
and copy/paste the output back to this thread using the instructions

I had another example of this behaviour recently. With a dolphin window still open (unintentionally), in Konsole I mounted a data partition to a directory in /home/myuser_id/. Then I opened a new dolphin window to view its contents, but the mounted directory was empty. Being in a hurry, I closed both dolphin windows, and on opening a new one the mounted directory’s content was listed.

The issue happens once or twice a week. I workaround this problem by LogOff (or restart the system), so logging as other user will sure solve the issue but just because I do log off. I will try creating a new user and try using this user instead of an old one for a week and see if the issue is related to profile dir.
My system is 11.4 32bit, with 3rd party VLC and MPlayer installed only. Also I used multimedia repo for updating ALSA

do as you wish (it is your system) but most of the folks around here
think you will have a more stable and reliable system if you were to
disable these repos: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 (leaving only 2, 3, 9, and 10; for
rationale see the paragraph beginning with “IMPORTANT” in this cite:
http://tinyurl.com/33qc9vu)
then, you can save yourself a little time by turning off the
auto-refresh to 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 (rationale: no need to refresh
what you are not using, plus oss is unchanging [like the DVD])
and, if you need to update (for example) alsa, enable the repo, refresh
it, and do the update–while carefully watching that it only does what
you wish…then disable and stop refreshing the repo…doing it the way
you have now it might at any point suck in something you didn’t really
want from any of those repos–and, you might not notice…just because
they are enabled…
i have a hunch that when your problem will go away when you have moved
away from something corrupted in your /home config files…however, if
that does not work…then it might be needed to run a cleansing of your
loaded software to get back to the basics of the four basic repos, and
get away from what ever software was installed that should not have been…

Q: What do you get if you divide the circumference of a jack-o-lantern
by its diameter?
A: Pumpkin Pi!
Today the issue happened again.
The user was recreated week ago. The system rebooted 2 days ago, since then suspended to RAM about 5-10 times.
In the screenshot there are 3 .doc files which have been just converted to PDF. Dolphin does not show new files, but in terminaI can list new files
http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/5805/tosiara.16/0_556e6_382036c2_L](http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/5805/tosiara.16/0_556e6_382036c2_orig)
This has happened with me too. I feel this is due to the time interval set for automatically refreshing file lists. Its should be buried somewhere in the config files (hard coding it seems bad to me).
No help but I sometimes experience this with dolphin. If I F5 it catches up.
Here is another annoying scenario
There are file in Downloads folder, I can see them in Dolphin window, but when I want to attach file to GMail within Firefox - the new files are missing until I press F5.
Here is screenshot
right left - Dolphin window with 8 files
left pane - Firefox file attachemnt window - only 4 files shown, need to press F5 to refresh

I’ve noticed this behavior in Dolphin when it’s been open for some time, it stops refreshing. I notice this sometimes when copying files between two dolphin windows but mostly when unzipping files with the right-click menu, the unzipped files only appear after a refresh. I haven’t checked exhaustively, but my impression is that this starts happening some time after another dolphin window is opened. The first stop refreshing, usually when desktop effects are off. Weird, I might be seeing things here.
I too see this
Period of open time doesn’t seem to come in to in my case though

You should also mention your bug report (which you reopened) for
reference https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699079
I see the bug report is still for 11.4 in the Product and OS field,
if I were you I would change that to 12.2, it is more than unlikely that
some developer looks at a bug which is still reported for 11.4 and only
your comment mentions 12.2.

Sorry to drag up this old post but it seems appropriate as my problem is identical to the op.
This annoying bug is not fixed and is marked as resolved at Bugzilla.
My Questions,
What is a good alternative to dolphin that I can run until this is fixed?
Is anyone else seeing this behavior and should another bug report be filed?
See the upstream br: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211472
Fix will be available with 4.9.4, 4.10, and i have created a maintenance request for 12.2 Update (4.8.5)
