Force refresh of the view when new files are created

We need internal calls to make the interface feel snappier on user actions.

Pushed this patch in 280bb19, this some other areas to cover (or a better way to handle this), so i leave this bug open for now.
Comment 2 Jannis Pohlmann editbugs 2011-09-17 00:51:26 CEST 
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7215 is somewhat related: on locations that do not support file monitoring, we need to explicitly generate events to update/reload the folder (e.g. when a file is deleted).

So I think we need something similar to "new-files" for other operations as well (like file deletion). Like with "new-files", we need to group events for individual files, otherwise deleting 5000 files in a folder will cause the UI to become highly unresponsive.
