Bug Description

It would be really helpful it was possible to right click on a folder and rescan just that folder as opposed to clicking the refresh button in the top right hand corner which refreshes the entire file system.

The use case for this is when trying to free up some space, you use the tool to identify where the best space savings can be made and then do some clearing up in the folder, then you want to refresh that part of the tree to see how it now fits into the overall picture.

I hope that's clear
