0.95 Refresh not working

[Akovia]

XnView: MP 0.95 - 64 bit
Arch Linux 64bit

Refresh does not find newly created files

Effect:
Files are not updated or shown in the GUI

To reproduce:
1. Browse to a folder with a gimp xcf file and open it.
2. Export an image from that xcf file to the existing folder. (png in this case)

Actual behaviour (bug):
File does not appear automatically after being created. Using F5, or the menu button View > Refresh does not have any effect.
The only way to update the folder and show the missing files is to browse to another folder and then back.

Expected behaviour:
Files show up when created, or at least when view is refreshed.

This log shows that the program does see the files as they were created, but they do not appear in the GUI.

EDIT: Not sure if it's related, but sometimes I will browse to a folder and no thumbnails will show until I click on one of the file icons. Then all of the image thumbs will load. I haven't been able to determine a common factor as to when it happens, but it is quite frequent.

EDIT2: Attaching 30 second video showing it in action.

i've just tried and it works. Is it a big image?

[Akovia]

I wouldn't consider it big. It's 876x1280.

All I did was open the xcf and export a transparent png. Maybe you can see something with the files.

Here's the xcf

and the exported png that wouldn't show.

After some more testing, it seems it might be size related. I tried a file just slightly smaller than the one I linked and it worked, as well as some other smaller images.

Is this a limitation of the software? I would think a manual refresh should still force a refresh the same as changing to a different folder and back.

If you save the png in another folder, and copy it with file explorer in the folder watched by XnView?

[Akovia]

I think I understand the question.

I opened xnviewmp to a particular folder.
I used my file browser (Thunar) to copy a large file into that folder.

If that was right, then it did work as expected. The file showed up immediately and I didn't need to do a refresh.

[xnview]

so it seems that the problem comes only if the file is currently written?

...and is of a certain size.

• You CAN directly write a smaller file to a directory displayed by xnview and it will show up.
  You CAN NOT directly write a larger file to a directory displayed by xnview and have it show up. (Refresh doesn't help)
  You CAN copy a file of any size into a directory displayed by xnview and it will show up.
