Missing folders refresh & disabled file functions

Post by filo »

Hello,

I have just installed XnView MP on Ubuntu desktop. I can't fix belows problems:

1) auto refreshing or manual refresh not working in Folder window. Only restart XnView working as folder refresh after changes of folder structure.

2) In Folder window after right click on folder showed list included disabled functions: Delete, Rename, Create New Folder.

Especially first problem makes working with that great application difficult.

Best, Filo.

# 1 Confirmed.

However, MP does see the files in new folders when the user selects "Show all files (recursive)" from the tree context menu of the parent folder, even if the folder is not be visible in the tree.

The mini-toolbar needs the refresh button as in 1.9x, also, the refresh action should also refresh the folders list in the folder tree.

To reproduce:

· Open browser
· Show folder tree
· Navigate to a folder with images
· Switch to another file tool (leave MP open)
· Make a new folder within the folder the MP browser points to
· Copy an image into the new folder
· Switch back to MP
· Observe that the new folder is not visible in the tree
· Perform View->Refresh
· Observe that the new folder is still not visible in the tree
· Right-click on current folder in folder tree
· Select "Show all files (recursive)"
· Observe newly copied file in file-list (or thumbs panel)
· Observe containing folder for that image still not visible in tree
