need a way to rescan

that seems to be a big omission. it would make the use case of scan home directory, look at graphical map to find big garbage, delete, repeat... much more convenient.
agreed.
I'm working on this (as well as bug #365088), will attach a patch shortly.
Created attachment 75407 [details] [review] implement a refresh button this patch add a refresh button. the correct key shortcut should be Ctrl+R, but that is already taken by "scan remote folder" so I left it empty. I think that scan remote folder should have another key shortcut, with a refresh button on the toolbar: users expect to use the same shortcut used by epiphany and nautilus (I know I'm pissed off each time an application *doesn't* use Ctrl+R for refresh).
Actually I am not sure that is *so* important to be on the toolbar: honestly I would prefer to just have it in the Fil^H^H^HAnalyzer menu. As for the shortcut I agree that it should have Ctrl+R, I think we can leave scan remote folder without shortcut since it's not so common (nautilus' connect to server is without shortcut too)
having the refresh button in the toolbar makes it more like a nautilus window (in browser mode). also, the refresh menu item should be inside the 'View' menu.
Well, I don't have a strong opinion about having or not having it in the toolbar, but it seems a bit excessive to me: the RFE is more than reasonable but I don't feel like it something used that often to stay in the toolbar. Beside if in the future we monitor changes properly, the need for a refresh button goes away and I'd prefer to avoid the UI churn on somthing as visible as the toolbar. But as I said, if other thinks that it's good to have in the toolbar, I will not complain... Fabio what do you think? About using the View menu, I do not agree: rescanning is a very similar action to the initial scan. It is slow and can be cancelled with the "stop" menu item that is in the Analyzer menu, so I think it belongs there... or maybe I am just used to see "Revert" in the gedit File menu :)
No strong opinion on the toolbar, a menuitem would be fine for me, or maybe even in the context menu for the individual folders. I do agree that the menuitem belongs next to the other scan menuitems in the "Analyzer" menu
Agree on the Analyzer Menu. Concerning the toolbar, my opinion is that we can leave it there and just remove when (and if) we provide a better monitor on changes.
Emmanuele, maybe something's wrong in the glade patch? I can't display the refresh button.
I committed a patch based on Emmanuele one that fixes this, adds both the menu item and the toolbar button, properly sets the initial sensitivity and tidies up some conflicting accelerators.
