OneDrive overlay does not change when downloaded, not even with F2

[mhaecki]

How to reproduce:
- Browse to a folder full of files available online (blue cloud overlay shows)
- Open one of the files (i.e. a pdf or jpg)
- The overlay icon is still the blue cloud
- Press F2, the overlay icon is still the blue cloud
- Browse to the parent folder, then come back: The overlay icon is gone, meaning file is available offline (but not always).

Expected:
- Perfect would be after the file is downloaded and opend, the cloud disappears.
- Ok would be, that pressing F2 makes it disapear.

-- the same, but in reverse, applies to "free up space" on files. The cloud does not reapear.

System:
- Windows 11
- TC 11.03

Currently overlays are not refreshed when you press F2/Ctrl+R and nothing else in the directory has changed. There is currently no way to detect programmatically whether an overlay has changed, except for re-loading all the overlays in the entire directory.

Will cm_RereadSource 1 or cm_RereadSource 3 update the overlays?

[mhaecki]

Thank you @ghisler(Author) for the reply. I kinda figured

@petermad: cm_RereadSource 3 does update the overlays (2 doesn't).

@ghisler(Author): The reread behaviour could be configurable for the F2 button. If performance is an issue, it could be limited to the environments "OneDriveConsumer" and "OneDrive".

The reread behavour could be configurable for the F2 button.

It already is, just Redefine the F2 hotkey to cm_RereadSource with the Parameters set to: 3 in the Misc. section of TC's Configuration dialog.

A dedicated configuration tick mark in i.e. "Display - Icons" or "Operation - Refresh" could make this behaviour accessible to a wider audience.
At least this thread helps document that behaviour and the solution with the redefined hotkey.
