FreeCommander Forum

Hi there

For the past couple of versions I notice that the refresh of the list does not happen, names repeat instead of the folder name that should be there. See attached screenshot. Program Files and Program Files (x86) show up as same names repeated, so on

Please correct this at the earliest

Kind regards
Bhavbhuti

What is your program version? 936 is the last release.
Can you reproduce it in 936?

I have had this issue with v936 in Details view.
On many occasions on every day since updating I notice that FC can show multiple versions of the same file as if after a refresh where files have been deleted it hasn't scrolled and refreshed properly.
I have the first 2 Auto refresh options selected and Refresh when FC is activated. The 2 middle ones were not selected.

Could you provide steps to reproduce it?

Nothing special to achieve it. When I have batch files running copying files or syncing folders I notice that the 2 windows in FC have duplicated files as shown in the image submitted by the OP bhavbhuti.
If files are deleted in the folder from external batch files or external file copy programs then it appears that some of those files are replaced with the same file properties as others in the list - two or three files have the same name as each other.
When I click on the window it refreshes and the extra files disappear. But I have refresh settings to auto refresh.
It's not a biggy but can be disconcerting at times.
This in W11 24H2 but I've only noticed this in FC v936.

HI Marek
V9.36
I'm afraid I'm still getting refresh issues when FC windows is inactive. In Details view items are not disappearing when they are deleted by batch file delete commands. In Settings/Refresh I have the top 2 selected and the bottom one. Ignore auto refresh is disabled.

I am seeing repeated files again.

Can confirm that V936 still not refreshing file lists.

You mean 936 or 937?

936. I've just seen 937 and installed.
I'll report back my findings.

Yes 937 still has refresh issues when the program is not active. No change.

Confirmed.

I have been experiencing similar issues intermittently.
Sort order is not respected accordingly. sometimes I have files listed twice and sometimes i.e. Download, the file is not shown in the tab.

I do not think this is an issue with FreeCommander.
I am also experiencing similar behavior in Windows Explorer.
I would think this is an issue with Windows.

You know the option "Ignore Auto refresh if FreeCommander is inactive" - is the option active for you?

As reported above this option is disabled.

Could you send me your settings and step by step description how to reproduce the problem?
