Re: Make "auto refresh" not immediately resort files?

This manner of behavior is helpful in seperating the newly added files from existing files during a session.

I know we can turn off "auto refresh" or use "suspend auto refresh" but toggling those too often is a hassle. What I'm requesting is an adjustment to how the "auto refresh" behaves so that we can leave it on without it being bothersome in some situations.

BTW: This is how Windows Explorer behaves.
Auto-refresh is auto-refresh. I think that for someone who wishes to have this unorthdox -- which OS's Explorer are we talking about? -- behaviour, you should be inconvenienced a little. Also, what about those who are happy with auto-refresh resorting files? I, for one, still remain hopeful that loss of focus would one day be construed as a commit of a rename and result in immediate sorting as per an option in "General".

:P How about you re-edit the topic and first post here and put the original text back? You can get the text from zer0's post...this 'deleting' approach is not popular here, as you may have gathered..

you're making too big of a deal about this.

i reconceptialized this request so it should be treated like a new topic. so the old replies don't conflict with the new concept.

So in that case, there is absolutely no harm in leaving this thread as it was and making a link from this tread to a new one if you really insist on a new one...

But there have been many threads where the concept morphed almost entirely over the life of the thread and it was never an issue...
