Refresh directory after operation not working

2019-03-22 04:06

"Refresh remote panel every" is disabled.

I have to manually refresh the directory after any operation like uploading a new file.

Make sure you didn't turn off the Automatically refresh remote directory after operation:

"Automatically refresh remote directory after operation" is not working, that's the bug.

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

This is how to reproduce the bug:

- If transfer in background is enabled, refreshing the file list after any operation (upload, delete, etc) never happens.

- If transfer in background is disabled, a popup window shows, and after it closes refresh works fine.

Don't you have directory caching disabled?

Directory caching does not matter. I can reproduce the bug the same way with it enabled and disabled.

Enabling Transfer in background causes the problem. I had to try every possible setting until I found out what was causing the bug.

This bug is still unfixed after so many years. This is the log, there is ni refresh after moving a file from the server and after uploading it.

As I have asked you already:

Don't you have directory caching disabled?
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_login_directories#directory_reading_options

In your log:

. 2020-02-13 05:37:12.921 Local directory: ...,  Cache: No
...
. 2020-02-13 05:37:18.062 Not refreshing directory, caching is off.

If you can reproduce the problem even with enabled caching (as you have claimed), please post a log file for that.

Come on give me some credit. I can't do it right now, I'm not using that computer.

Why do you need any caching to force refresh after any operation?. It makes no sense, but I TRIED IT TOO and it makes no difference.

Thanks.

It's just the way it is.

Post a log file for that.

It is not. If you disable Transfer in background (all cache options off), forcing autorefresh after any operation works perfectly.

You provide log of the opposite. I give up. This bug will stay forever, it was reported more than 5 years ago

That's true. I never claimed opposite. But for refresh after background transfer, the caching needs to be enabled. It's not a bug. It's the way it is implemented. I understand that you may not like it. But no one else have problems with it, so it's not likely I'm going to re-implement it.
