Dolphin does not auto refresh. I know about F5 but it used to update
without provocation.
A search on Google suggests that it is an old problem and adding ones
name to the storage group will fix the problem.
Unfortunately Mageia 8 has no storage group.
Any suggestions?
Checking under strace shows it's using inotify to detect the new file.
See if installing one of the following fixes it for you. Please install
only one
at a time and then test to see if it's working. I'm thinking it may be a missing
requires in dolphin, that's been installed on my system as I have most
of the
desktop environments installed. If that's the case, we need to know
which of
the packages is missing so it can be fixed.

I will have to devise a reliable test and that can't be until tomorrow
On spec I tried "inotify-tools-3.20.11.0-1.mga8" ,which I don't have,
in software install MCC it is not found.
To test I also tried "knotifyconfig-5.76.0-1.mga8" , which I do have,
MCC didn't find it either.
I didn't proceed further. Are they part of a library package and not
listed individually?

What's the output of "urpmq --list-media active"?

Just remembered. In mcc, use the drop down selection button to change
the setting
from "Packages with gui only", to "All".

That appears to have cracked it, David.
I was missing quite a few files.

Did you keep track of which one actually fixed the problem?
Tomorrow I will try with Mageia 6 and get a comparison.
I will go through the Dolphin config settings with a fine tooth combNothing in the seeting that would apply.
later today and see if anything stupid jumps out at me.

Unfortunately this stuff requires an uninterrupted day to slog through
tests and comparisons.
I always get interrupted by other peoples trivia. Perhaps I need to invest in a pile of bodies to discourage it. :-)

Pile of bodies not a good idea for privacy. Too much paperwork and
health considerations. Police or other security may get involved and
that will mess up your schedule.
