hi all,
i have a problem with xfce4 desktop and thunar. it doesn't refresh automatically, ie i have thunar opened for example /home/user and if i save a file to that very same directory, the new file doesn't show up until i hit f5 to refesh.
any tips?
thank you

I think Thunar requires FAM to be enabled for instant refresh.

I have the same problem. When i try to install fam pacman says it conflicts with gamin which is required by thunar and gnome-vfs...

gamin isn't even used in arch anymore in favour of fam (unfortunately, imho) so just install fam and remove gamin. they both work with thunar and gnome-vfs as those packages are built against fam anyway but gamin provides libfam.
remove gamin without dependencies: pacman -Rd gamin
install fam: pacman -S fam
start the fam daemon: /etc/rc.d/fam start
and (if possible) restart thunar and xfdesktop and so on.

that, including restart, solved the problem for me.
