XYplorer Beta Club

XYplorer 9.80.0000
WinXP Pro SP3

I have auto-refresh enabled (of course). It is not suspended (i.e. "Suspend Auto-Refresh" is not activated). I've tried with the "Refresh during file operations" setting enabled, and with it disabled; it makes no difference.

On what situation is it not working?

1. When I mount a TrueCrypt volume. The volume gets mounted, but the new drive doesn't appear in XY. If I try opening an XY favorite pointing to the new drive, I get an error. At that point, I hit F5 and it appears.

2. When uTorrent creates a new directory in which to place downloaded files. The directory gets created, but it doesn't appear in XY until I hit F5.

3. Some other situations that I know have occurred but the specifics of which have slipped my mind.

Might be fixed in 9.90.

Those may be related to uTorrent and other apps creating directories in a certain way as discussed here.

That would be a fix for new drives not showing up in XYplorer?

The post you cite says that mkdir doesn't notify. But when I use mkdir, the tree is refreshed properly in XY. I'm not sure what this means, but I hope this isn't another issue I'll have to live with because of the supposed fault of "other applications".

Do you mean you call the kernel API function mkdir or do you use mkdir from a command prompt? The above post is about apps calling the kernel API function.

Also, AFAIK the rules are different for XYplorer's current folder, i.e. the folder that is showing in its List. In that folder alone, XYplorer watches out for all activity.

Is there a general problem with this in the current latest beta?

Correct.

I was using mkdir from the command prompt. Thanks for the clarification.

Edit: And when I tested, I did have the parent folder selected in XY. But it appears to work even if I don't have it selected.

I don't have that problem myself with external drives (I don't use TrueCrypt) as they immediately show up in XYplorer's Tree. I don't remember seeing other recent posts about this. Sorry for any confusion, I asked purely based on this thread.

In practical terms, there isn't much difference between the two: behaviour-wise, the command prompt does seem to use the mkdir API function without posting a notification. I'm guessing your XYplorer had that folder open, enabling XYplorer's Tree to pick up the change that way, as posted earlier.
