Content doesn't refresh when viewed in desktop file manager

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

Add files to Ubuntu mobile device (drag and drop via nautilus for example)
Later.. remove files from ubuntu device (adb shell rm /home/phablet/Videos/*)
Note that the nautilus file manager does not update. Copying files to the device erroneously reports out of space when there's plenty.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hitting reload on the nautilus window doesn't modify the file not being there nor does unmounting and remounting the device.

However if you remove the device and reconnect it is then removed.

It seems as if mtp is somehow keeping a log of files and nautilus is reading from that rather that the actual phone system maybe.

Tested the same thing on Android and the Video was instantly removed from the movies folder on nautilus. So it looks like we are not updating mtp on the fly.

It renders essential features or functionality of the package (or a dependent one) broken.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Indeed, we're not updating on the fly. This is a wishlist bug we'll fix very soon.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

AFAIK we've fixed this with the current version of MTP in the archive and on the images. Maybe this should be closed Fix Released now?

It still seems broken:

1. Access a MTP folder in nautilus
2. Delete some files inside that folder from the phone
3. Nautilus keeps showing the deleted files
