[opensuse] how to read a directory after adding it in konsole
I expect there is a pretty simple solution to this one. I went to konsole and using the command line I added a directory (mkdir) and copied some files into it. However, then in dolphin, I could not read the new directory. It would not show up. So I did what every other newb like me would do and logged out of kde and then logged back in, and there then it showed up in the file manager dolphin. I know I should not have to log out and log back in, but I don't know how to get it get dolphin to pick up the new directory. Can someone tell me what the right procedure is, if it is in a konsole or in some other way, to have dolphin recognize the new directory?

On Dolphin's menu, [View] -> [Reload]. Hope this helps.

or just press <F5>, the 'function key' with the no. 5 on it; that does the same. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmmm, I cannot reproduce the problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

i can't now either, but i remember that when some other process changes directory structure or content, dolphin or konqueror don't always show that without refresh. i never thought about that twice, thinking that some internal message must have got stuck somewhere. i don't expect these things to work always, without fail. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
