Description Martin Schlander 2010-01-05 18:08:17 UTC

User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; da) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.10

Currently there's a rather unfortunate problem in KDE 4.3.x where Dolphin, 
file dialogs etc. don't "automagically" pick up changes (new files, deleted 
files etc.) done by other apps - apparently cuz of changes to inotify stuff in 
recent kernels.

This means you very often have to manually hit F5 or refresh in other manual ways.

I think this is fixed here:
http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&amp;revision=1065898
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207361

I wonder if this fix could be reviewed for possible backporting to the 4.3.4 
packages. 

I guess SLE11SP1 will have a recent kernel too - and thus the problem will 
exist there too.

Reproducible: Always

Hi,

moved to kde 4.3.90 (rc1), same problem in file chooser.

Comment 4 Sebastien ROHAUT 2010-01-16 20:32:46 UTC

Ooops, no. It happens only in pseudo-kde4 file chooser in openoffice.org.

Comment 5 Lubos Lunak 2010-02-01 17:29:40 UTC

This should be fixed with the 4.3.5 update.
