Well, it's been a week, and I haven't been able to reproduce the "refresh problem" of my recollection.
And I tried a few explicit test cases over LAN & over WAN & on zip drive -- all eliciting proper behaviour from x2.
So I guess I'll chalk it up to operator error.

Can we assume that the 'folders' really are folders, and not file-links (shortcuts) to the folders?
The links sort like regular files.

I think I saw a funny like that at first, but it went away.

and/or you might try to capture details of the issue with Dependency Walker [ download from www.dependencywalker.com ] as described in the note at end of explorer² alpha.txt file. viz: " ... If you want to checkout the output of [2xExplorer] ... you need another program. Dependency Walker comes...

It is a recollection, while doing other things & not paying full attention to sequence of operations, when then I find something I had moved or created would not be listed in the folder being viewed in x2. (and it does happen with windoze explorer too!) Maybe I'll find some time this weekend to ...

second the motion (as explained so well by JRz)

You are right that x2.46 keeps folders at top for sort by name.
I would like to see that behavior for sort by date as well.
(but that's a diifferent issue than what flightjock asked)

That's something I would like to see, too!
I always would prefer to keep folders grouped together at the top of the list.

If I had thought about it, I'd have figgered out x2 was monitoring disk i/o -- vs. 'pinging' (wrong protocol) for contents, as when searching, when need for update is deduced from changing panes or clicking in tree. But if x2 always monitors disk i/o, why do i need to explicitly 'refresh' a pane to ...

This is not so much a ‘bug report’ as anomalous behaviour: I have noticed that as I web-browse, that dbmon reports that x2 follows along in the sense of tracking activity in various [Local Settings] folders, even though neither pane is pointed at anything in the [Documents and Settings] tree, and I ...

ok, i'll take that off my todo list (which is too long neway). on a to-be-posted-on-another-thread topic, i have encountered crashes of uncertain origen, when i haven't had the dbmon ON. Although I suspect why, I'll wait until I've captured dbmon output & have something specific to send. and ano...

Nikos, While your comment may be true for the examples that triggered adding this capability, I was thinking of the case which narayan expressed so well -- in fact I have already added some folders to the list -- and i suspect that i will forget what i have done at some time in the future. (It's hap...

That's a very effective fix. Thanks, Nikos! ... providing one knows à priori what folders to blacklist. I blacklisted my problem WSFTP_Pro 'folder' and verified its effectiveness & that searching in a blacklisteed folder can still be done when starting within it. And I would still like to see a ...

ok, I'll get .46 and check it out. May not be 'til tonight.
(i hope when it bumps into a blacklist folder that it gives notice of the encounter... but i'll see when i try it)

narayan has a good point: need checks & balances. I suspect some thought needs to go into investigating alternatives. While one USUALLY would want to stay out of such folders, there will be times when one needs to see what's there. (May need to let this sit for a while so subconscious parallel t...
