832 - Auto refresh issues (updated)

[Dreamer]

I can't reproduce it every time yet, sometime it looks quite random.

I can reproduce it in these cases:
#1
- use default or my custom settings
- go to path D:\Downloads
- use this program and parameters: C:\Programs\XnView\xnview.exe -capture=window,D:\Downloads\Screenshot_$.ext
- I'm starting that program from HotkeyP - with the keyboard shortcut, but you can use DOS box, from the same FC instance
= new created file is not listed in active panel (it works good in Explorer)

- now use the same path in left and right panel, D:\Downloads
- C:\Programs\XnView\xnview.exe -capture=window,D:\Downloads\Screenshot_$.ext
= new file is listed in left/active panel, but not listed in the right/inactive panel

#2
- open 2 FC instances, 1 can be with default settings
- set the same path in both panels
- in another FC instance create new file 1.txt
= file 1.txt is updated in inactive panel of the first instance only

- now refresh both panels
- in another FC instance delete file 1.txt
= file 1.txt is removed in inactive panel of the first instance only

#3
- start 1 FC instance with default settings, for the right panel use path where files will be placed
- use details view with Size Auto column
- start recording/capturing using some software, for TV/DVB, screen capture, or audio recorders
- new file is updated correctly
= Size Auto shows 0 Byte(s), even after few minutes, even after manual refresh ctrl+r

- in Windows Explorer it's the same
- in FC, Size is updated when I right click the file (in Explorer this way doesn't work)
- restart FC
= size is still not updated, same in Explorer

I'm not sure if it's possible to fix, since it's the same in Explorer, but since it works with right click, perhaps there's a way to force refresh size when using refresh/ctrl+r.

#4
Auto refresh doesn't work also in some other cases, but I can't always reproduce it:
- when I drag&drop file to other panel folder, to move it, it's not removed from left panel sometimes.

#5
- open 2 FC instances with my settings
- in 1st instance delete file
- in 2nd instance go to recycle bin and restore deleted file
= in 1st instance file list is not updated, restored file is not visible

It works fine if for delete operation is "Use Freecommander" defined.
I can not find the reason why it does not work for "Use Windows".

[Dreamer]

Do you mean #5?

BTW:

8328

#5
- open 2 FC instances with my settings
- in 1st instance set the same path for left and right panel
- in 1st instance delete file
- in 2nd instance go to recycle bin and restore deleted file
= in 1st instance file list is not updated, restored file is not visible in active panel, but it's visible in inactive panel

What about other auto refresh issues? I have a problem with drag&drop very often.

[Dreamer]

I had a problem with auto refresh after drag&drop with default settings in 8328 yesterday, now I can't reproduce it in both 8328 and 8329.

Something must causing these issues, once it's broken with my settings, it's broken also in another instance with default settings, possibly it's related with Windows.

#5 is the same in 8329.

#4
I just saw how drag&drop refresh was broken, I think I got it (8329):

- use my settings
- use different folders in left and right panels, but same drive
- copy file 0.txt from left panel to right using F5
- auto refresh works
- delete file 0.txt from right panel using Dele key
- go to left panel
- move file 0.txt from left panel to right using F6
= auto refresh does not work in both panels

- now drag&drop file from left to right panel
= auto refresh does not work in right panel only

- manually refresh view
- drag&drop the same file from right to left panel
= auto refresh does not work in right panel only

- restart FC
= auto refresh after drag&drop works good!

I could reproduce it 3 times!

EDIT: I can reproduce it also with default settings, just use FC operations for Copy and Move and use the steps above.

OK, the problem is, when I delete any item in left panel, auto refresh is broken for left panel, the same for the right panel, delete any item and auto refresh is broken also in right panel. You can just create a new folder and delete it. Now I can reproduce it this way even with default settings, no need to change any file operations options.

- use default settings
- create and delete folder in left and right panel
- drag&drop any file
= auto refresh is broken in both panels, also in other tabs

It works good after FC restart.

When using FC operation for Delete, it works good, so probably it's the same issue as this one:

It works fine if for delete operation is "Use Freecommander" defined.
I can not find the reason why it does not work for "Use Windows".

[Marek]

The delete operation "Use Windows" broke auto refresh.
It should be better now.
