Howdy,
I been noticing this for a while now. It started maybe a couple months
ago. At first, I figured it is a bug and will be fixed but now I wonder
if it is just me. As some know, I have a lot of hard drives. Sometimes
I unmount those drives and naturally Dolphin returns to the first
directory that it can see. I expect that. It has always worked that
way and it should. Thing is, when I mount those drives again, while I
can navigate in the main window, the folders panel does not update even
after I enter the newly mounted directories. On occasion, it does.
Most of the time it doesn't. Example. I have path /a/b/c/d/e and then
files. The mount point, encrypted or not, starts at c. If I unmount,
Dolphin returns to b. When I remount, whether it is a encrypted drive
or not, the main window updates when I click on c directory but the
folders panel never shows the little arrow or expands as it normally
does. Even if I navigate in the main window all the way to the e
directory, the folders panel never 'sees' the newly mounted
folders/directories. It used to expand as I navigate through directories.
There are rare times when it does update once I navigate into a
sub-directory but it is rare. Usually, the only way to make it work
correctly is to start a new instance of Dolphin and duplicate the tabs
and close the old instance. Once it fails to update the newly mounted
drive, I can't find a way to force it to update. Again, it behaves this
way on a hard drive whether encrypted or not.
Is anyone else seeing this sort of behavior? I've looked to see if there
is some new setting for this but I can't find anything, obvious at
least. It's kind of annoying since sometimes I have about a dozen tabs
open usually to different places that I'm trying to organize files in.
Sometimes I have to use the back button to see where it was. Can be time
consuming.
If someone else is seeing this, let me know I'm not alone even if you
don't have a fix. If this is a bug, it may need to be reported. Most
likely to KDE I'd guess.
Thanks.
