Good news!

I found a one-liner patch and now am no longer seeing problems with Konqueror updating file information.

I posted the complete story in the bug report:

http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=756

I attached the patch to the bug report.

Simply put: the patch works. What a joy to see the file pane update immediately!

The patch should back port to 3.5.13.

Please test!

Darrell,

You wrote in the bug:

<quote> For example, in Konqueror select a desired directory, press F4 to open konsole, and then I type something like the following:

diff -urN kdebase kdebase.new > kdebase-new-diff.diff

Konqueror never updates. I have to manually refresh the pane. </quote>

This has always worked in the Arch builds of tde. see:

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?
