Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7 + MATE : Folder contents not refreshed in file manager

Hi,

I just migrated my workstation running CentOS 7 from KDE to MATE.

It looks like I'm having the same problem with the Caja file manager than with Dolphin. Folder contents don't get refreshed automatically, and I have to hit F5.

For example, when I download a file (say, a compressed archive) from the Internet, I have to hit F5 to see the file in Caja. And when I extract the archive, I have to hit F5 again.

Anybody knows where this nagging problem comes from?

Cheers,

Niki

What do you see in /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches? If you increase the value, does the problem persist?
