KDE 4.3.2 isn't refreshing files?

MP2E · 2009-10-10 20:48:16

I realize that GNOME uses things like gamin, or fam to make sure that the file browser is updated automatically, but I thought that KDE did this itself?

Basically, I have the folder bubble plasmoid on my desktop open to my home folder. Whenever I make a change to the home folder, it normally doesn't refresh for some reason! It was fine in KDE 4.3.1, but now I need to go into dolphin to view new folders I just created, or new files. Sometimes the plasmoid randomly refreshes, normally after I view the files in Dolphin, but it's really annoying that it doesn't show the file changes every time I do one.
I'm using the "vanilla" KDE packages, not KDEmod.

Any ideas?

Works fine in my machine. Try "Refresh View" (right click or F5). Or remove the "bubble" and add a new "Folder View" widget.

Same issue here, though it's always happened to me occasionally, it's now happening constantly. Resetting it usually helps, but it always ends up happening again. Very annoying. Perhaps this bug is related?

I'll try resetting, perhaps this is bug related too. Also, the trash can almost NEVER refreshes, unfortunately. It is still showing a file I deleted a few nights ago :S
