For example, I have a script that does a series of processes with a few images and then it erases them.
I attach a picture with a window of the nautilus that continued showing the images that already did not exist, after executing the script (screenshot-before-F5.png).
And another picture with the same window after I press F5 (screenshot-after-F5.png).

could this be only related to ext4? i cannot reproduce this with ext3 here.

I can't say because all my disks are ext4.

could you run gvfs-monitor on the directory and see if changes are listed there?

This problem is solved:
I passed all my discs to ext3 and I reinstalled Ubuntu.
I think the support for ext4, in Ubuntu, is still very precarious.

closing the bug since nobody gets it now and it lacks details, the filesystem is quite new and not only in ubuntu there is a reason why it's not default yet

I can confirm this bug. Folders aren't refreshing automatically when files are copied or if archives are extracted (or under any other circumstances). Refreshing must be done manually to get new files to show up.

This is on an ext3 file system (haven't let that ext4 mess touch me yet). This is a fresh install, not an upgrade from 8.10 or anything else.

don't reopen a closed bug because you have a similar issue better to open a new one
