FAMChanged event do not trigger update of file infos in icons/list view
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When changinh the content of a file, the file manager view is not updated to display the new file size (when displayed). The monitor actually receives the file change event, but no update is made. To reproduce, install FAM with (or without ?) imon kernel patch. Then open View as Icons/List on a directory. Create an empty file in that directory: # touch aFile.txt The file aFile.txt appears in the file manager. Then add some content in the file. This should (will) triger the FAMChanged event for the file. # echo "This is a test ..." >> aFile.txt # echo "But nothing happens ?" >> aFile.txt The icon/entry should update to reflect changes in the file content (size, content preview, ...). If a directory is monitored and the change is the creation of a file inside it, the number of elements is not updated. It should be noted that: -For files: when the icon/entry is selected or when Ctrl-R is pressed, infos, content preview are correctly updated. -For dirs: when the icon/entry is selected, # of elements are NOT updated. Ctrl-R have to be hit to have displayed infos correctly updated. PS.: The tree have been checked out on Friday 2001/10/12 or Saturday 13th and is from redhat-merge-branch
You should not be using the redhat merge branch. The Red Hat merge has been completed on HEAD. This is fixed on HEAD.
This is a race condition in fam. Please use fam-2.6.4-13 from redhat rawhide or apply the fam-oss-2.6.4-changed_race.patch in it manually.
