For example when creating a new folder, it's then called "New folder". If you rename the folder and press enter, the folder is still called "New folder". After a random delay, which may be even 30 seconds, it eventually resolves. (There might even be a moment when two folders are listed "New folder" and the renamed one.) The same is after deleting files/folders, they just don't disappear until after huge delays. Also creating a new folder may seem to do nothing, but actually it's just a refresh problem. The problem doesn't occur every time. I'm not sure what worsens the problem.
Has anyone found a solution to this? There's a manual workaround: simply pressing F5 or ctrl+r after the file operation.
I do know one solution: another file manager such as XYplorer. But I still want to find a solution for Windows's own File Explorer.
I did also write a simple AHK workaround, but this may have side effects and problems (I just wrote this, so I have to test for a few days) (at least scrolling to the beginning is an unwanted side effect with this code):
Code: Select all
#If WinActive("ahk_exe explorer.exe")
~Enter:: ; after Enter, refresh
Sleep 20 ; allow some time for the Explorer window to redraw and get active focus
Send ^r ; or {F5} to refresh Explorer
Return
~+^n:: ; after New folder operation, refresh
Send ^r
Return
~^v:: ; after Paste operation, refresh
Send ^r
Return
#If
