Description

Hello.

IMHO, related with https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10234 (fixed???!)

Reproduced in any distr of Linux and version of Thunar and also with last Thunar 1.6.10.

  1. Open the Thunar in your PC. Go to smb://<server>/<folder>. Make a new file.
  2. Go to <server> PC (Local folder of smb resource) and delete this file.
  3. See your Thunar. Thunar not update folder file list. Only F5 (Ctrl-R) can help.

(Also you can mount your desktop from the cifs share and make a new file with any another program. Only F5 or "xfdesktop --reload" can help).

I would note, that not only Thunar have this problem. (Also Nautilus, Caja, PCManFM...). In any case, it does not add anything good.

Version: 1.6.10
