There's no way to make Thunar see new files on the Desktop
Status:
RESOLVED: WORKSFORME

Description hellohello 2009-04-27 18:00:46 CEST
User-Agent:       Links (0.96; Linux 2.6.22-2-686 i686)
Build Identifier: Thunar 0.9.0 (Xfce 4.4.2)



Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Reproduction of this bug is simple: Simply fire up Thunar so that it shows

the Desktop directory in the X11 root window. Then, using a program that isn't

Thunar (for example, Firefox), put a file in the Desktop directory. Thunar

will fail to notice. Furthermore, there is no menu option or command-line

option anywhere in Thunar's documentation that would enable you to see a new

icon on the Desktop without restarting Thunar (which, on Debian, entails restarting

the whole X11 session as well).

Expected Results:  
Described in the description.

There should be at least one way to get Thunar to show new files after

they are stored on the Desktop.

Doesn't Ctrl-R work?

Please reopen if this is still an issue with the latest Thunar release.
