File list color refresh

[ARCHETYPE]

Hello,

I've configured a custom color for 'blocked' files (using Colors - tc plugin, ZoneId=3) and added a menu button to unblock files using a PowerShell script. The menu button config is a simple custom command to run PowerShell executable:

Code: Select all

COMMAND    : C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe
PARAMETERS : -WindowStyle Hidden

with the following added as a param for the menu button itself:

Code: Select all

-NoProfile -File "D:\Program Files\totalcmd\__PS57\unblock.ps1" %P

It works ('unblocks' files), but... The file list does not refresh until I change directories - files, although unblocked, are still marked in the color I configured for the blocked ones. 'Reread Source' doesn't work, I also tried keybinds related to refreshing.

I tried my Google-fu, but the only thing I found (and I'm not even sure if it's related) is this: viewtopic.php?t=79591

Anyone with similar experience could shed light on what am I missing?

Perhaps this is the answer:

Colors by file type are only applied once when reading the directory or when a new file is added. It's not constantly updated. For example, when a filter is set "not older than 1 hour" and a file then gets older than one hour, the color isn't updated immediately.

You can force a refresh (also of the colors) even when there was no change to the files with command:
cm_RereadSource 1
on a button, in the "Start" menu, in the command line, or with a user-defined hotkey.

Sweet, thank you. I just changed the command for Reread Source default menu button to the one you posted, and now it works.

Im not sure if it's a bug or not, but the default command for that button (first one from the left) was cm_Rereadsource. With cm_RereadSource 1 it works.

It's not a bug, if you read the explanation above again.
