Hello,

I am missing refresh folder shortcut. Now you need to click twice to get to this, but I would like to have a shortcut besides Sort icon for example. Refresh function is very important and I do not why app does not refresh automatically when new file is added.

In the properties of every location there is switch where you can activate the watching for changes in the folder of the location.

But a shortcut for reloading the content of a folder still makes changes, so will probably add such soon.

Kepp in mind, the watching for changes does not work in S3 locations.

Thanks for answer. Yep, I know what the problem is. This is PRO feature and is not available in free version.
