Directory-Refresh missing after copying a file

[tom_ch]

In PB5, after copying a file with CTRL+C and CTRL+V no refresh of the corresponding directory is made.

The file is there, but you don't see it (need to refresh the screen manually).

In PB4 everything works fine.

Not confirmed.

What do you have checked in Configuration -> Refresh -> Auto-refresh…?

[tom_ch]

I didn't use this configuration-option until now. So it seems that something has changed. After investing some time, it seems like the following:

Windows XP:
- option "auto-refresh" checked (PB5): Refresh
- option "auto-refresh" not checked (PB5): No Refresh
- option "auto-refresh" not checked (before PB5): Refresh

Windows VISTA:
- option "auto-refresh" checked (PB5): Refresh
- option "auto-refresh" not checked (PB5): Refresh
- option "auto-refresh" not checked (before PB5): Refresh

You're right. I can confirm described behaviour on WinXP now.

[Tomyboy]

Yes, I can also confirm this behaviour.

After pasting a file or directory with Ctrl+V, you'll have to refresh manually.

TC 7.04a and 7.5pb4 are working correctly.

I can confirm that using copy and paste in TC 7.50pb5 (with Ctrl+C/V or context menu) does not update the file panel - moving TC out and in of focus, updates the panel though.

This is regardless of the setting of auto-refresh.

Hi, guys.

As T.C. 7.50 pb5 is a public beta, I think I may mention that there is a similar thread inside the beta forum, TC 7.50 pb5: No refresh of files/dirs even with watchdirs=3 (thread=4498).

With respect to the explorer copy method (ctrl-c, ctrl-v), Christian explained that, unlike previous T.C. versions, T.C. 7.50 pb5 started the paste operation in a background thread, because Windows Vista did not correctly handle such foreground operations.

Maybe this fact is related to the auto refresh behaviour which you notice.

Kind regards,
Karl

I can reproduce the problem with watchdirs=0, thanks. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it with watchdirs=3, but I will try to make a refresh from the background thread which should fix that problem too.

Refreshing after pasting a file or directory (CRTL+V) is now working again in TC 7.5 beta 6. Thank you.

TC7.5pb6: seems to be fixed!

[Samuel]

Seems to be fixed.
I wonder what the reason was.

[Postkutscher]

Seems to be fixed in TC7.5PB6.

[ghisler(Author)]

Great, thanks! The reason was that "paste" is now perfomed in a background thread, mainly for Vista where "paste" isn't handling the progress dialog correctly when called in the main thread. The advantage is that it's now really multi-tasking, so you can do other things in TC during a "paste" operation.

Confirmed fixed in TC7.50pb6
