As soon as I create the .diff - it is automatically
shown in the konqueror file window. I have kept an eye on this issue even before
your post. I authored a bug against kde3 for not refreshing the 'directory' pane
with new changes long ago, so I always check.
The only issue I have seen where I have to manually
refresh is on remote files systems (eg. fish://) when the directory contents change.
Like when I build a package, all packages go in $CHROOT and there is always a
$CHROOT/src and $CHROOT/pkg directory under the parent. If I build tdelibs
and browse to the tree and view the files, if I then build tdebase (which
changes the files in the $CHROOT dir - only then will I have to do a manual refresh.
I'll test the patch, but do you know if it will have
any adverse effects where the update appears to be already working?
I have only been using the patch since yesterday, but I am not noticing anything.
I have seen these problems long since KDE3. I am not the only one because the bug report
from which I found the patch was for KDE 3.4.x. This problem has plagued some people for
years. As soon as I saw the results in Trinity I back ported the patch to my KDE3 setup as
well. For the first time I no longer have to press F5 to refresh the file pane.
I was compiling software yesterday and giggled like a young child when I saw the build log
file size continually updating in real time. I never saw that before with KDE3/Trinity.
I don't know why some people have had this problem with Konqueror and some did not.
