Re: [Nautilus-list] Please exercise new Scripts feature

[John Sullivan <sullivan eazel com>]

Heh. Sure you can.

Currently file system changes that a script makes are not automatically
picked up by Nautilus (just as they aren't from the command line). The
medium-term way to fix this is to add some sort of file system node
monitoring to Nautilus a la FAM. A short-term solution I could implement is
to do the equivalent of a Refresh in the current window automatically after
running a script. A workaround is to do a manual Refresh after running a
script.

I think I'll add the automatic Refresh unless somebody talks me out of it.
