Adding refresh button to favorites window (folder tree issue)

Post by Ionpainter »

Currently, the folder tree at the favourite window is not updated if you create new folders. (favShowFiles=true)
Workaround is restarting xnview everytime you create a new folder.

This bug exists since 1.6 (viewtopic.php?f=62&t=46649&p=194933&hil ... es#p194933).
I assume the folder tree function is buggy/not updated/must be rewritten and so it was deactivated by default: https://www.xnview.com/mantisbt/view.php?id=1919

The xnview-team doing great work :) and have features and bugs with higher priority than this favourite issue.
So it would be nice to have a simple hacky refresh-button (or keybind) that calls the function that loads the folder tree at program start.
I know its not a real solution but I have large folder structures and using the favourite folder tree is a huge timesaver.

Alternatively, fix the favourites folder tree feature :wink: .
