Refresh button?

MarcoCecchi

How refresh is done, automatically? Can it be forced? The classic button for this would be F5, but it is occupied by the copy function.

Do you mean refresh of the files? or refresh in web browser?
For files, yes, it's automatically done. There's no need for reload or smth similar to what other commander's have.
For web browser you can do it by right click in page and hit refresh menu. That is the only option for now.

Sergiu I meant text files. Ok then.

MarcoCecchi

Sergiu Well, I'm sorry but automatic sometimes it does not notice new files.
I delete a file (ok), the file is regenerated through compilation, MyCo doesn't notice.
At least can you add a refresh icon in the convenient shortcut bar present on top of each file window view?

MarcoCecchi

This is very important, please fix it. Just add a manual refresh button in the toolbar.
Replicating it is very easy, just download a file from the browser and leave the download directory open. It won't be updated...

Sergiu

Hello Marco,

Is your disk mounted ? For downloaded files it works fine. Check the video below.
I downloaded myco and automatically appeared in list of files.

Until we add a refresh button, as a workaround, for files regenerated trough compilation or for new files on mounted disks you can exit from current directory and go back in.

Thanks.

MarcoCecchi

Sergiu Yes, of course. I asked because I didn't know of any plans to add a refresh button. That would be very important, as the workaround is not acceptable.

MarcoCecchi Just for clarity: refreshing also means updating the file attibutes, such as size, date etc..
