iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
This community spirit where everyone feels obliged to respond on behalf of Apple that things found lacking must certainly be things that you don't really need, that's quite annoying. Why respond at all then?
Anyways, the lack of a refresh option for Finder windows is a serious shortcoming. When you mount an FTP server in Finder, it all works quite well (at least recently, since FTP was discovered by the Mac OS X folks), If anything changes on the server you just don't see it in the Finder window. If you are aware of the change, you can't tell the Finder about it. Closing and re-opening the window doesn't help either. You need to disconnect from the server and then re-connect to see the changed contents,
There must be a way to fix this in a future OS X version, it doesn't seem such a big change.
This is an excellent solution, exactly what I was looking for!
For me Finder frequently fails to update it's listing of a folder - just now I used wget to download a bunch of files but in Finder you'd never know they are there!
Confirmed that the finder not refreshing consistently is still a problem in Mavericks (10.9).
Oh, dear. Internet Explorer is a browser. Windows Explorer is, in effect, Finder.
Thanks for the clarification - as I have never run anything Windows, I didn't know.
You need to get out more. 😉
Those of us who do some software development have to live with one foot in each world, or at least a toe or two on "the other side."
You need to get out more. 😉
LOL - not if it involves Windows......
Windows ≠getting out more, and neither does being a developer. Not that either of those things mean that you DON'T get out more... I'm a programmer, not going to insult myself 🙂
10.6.4: refresh Finder window?????
