Refresh after file operation

Would be great to set an option to auto-refresh view after any file operation.
It took me a while to even realize if I was actually moving files instead of just copying them since the thumb remains until a manual refresh or you change folders and back.

Usually the auto-refresh should work.

However I think that you stumble like me and others on the very same bug which ISTM is caused by some race conditions between watching thread / thumbs builder thread, DB thread etc. Something like this.

We all wait for Pierre to fix it.

For me: after move. However, I don't delete files. Or, I delete in very very rare occasions.
