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. Dale :-) :-)
