Moved to using KDE recently and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted in aesthetics and customization. Unfortunately, dolphin doesn’t refresh when files are moved around and while I tried to accept it, I just can’t. Showing me where files are is literally the only job of a file manager.
Are there any other file managers that can take all the themes and colors in KDE? I love having a full theme but I can’t stand this manual refresh thing.
It updates for me. For example (and I just tested this), if some other process copies a file into the directory I have open in dolphin, I see the file appear pretty instantly.
I have the same issue on all four machines that use Dolphin. I’ve accepted having to hit F5 to refresh and I’m not looking to switch file managers, but if there is a fix I’d love to implement it!
If you like virtual buttons you can also put a “Refresh” button in the top bar of Dolphin, have had that for years (and only need to use it very rarely nowadays).
I like thunar with Arc theme but it’s Gtk based, and you really need to install thunar and its plugins (volman, archive manager, etc)
Is it only happening with folders that are or have symlinks?
I’m not sure how to tell? It happens with any media I move, either on my computer or through sftp.
