Scenario:
In my home directory i have a softlink to a folder on a NTFS drive that is not automatically mounted on boot. If pcmanfm is opened before the mounting of the drive the softlink view will not update, and clicking it does not work either.
Steps to reproduce:
create link to folder on NTFS drive.
reboot
open pcmanfm viewing the link, it is indicated as a file and cannot be accessed.
mount the NTFS drive
The link will never update.
There is no way to refresh the folder, that i have found at least.
As soon as i go to another drive, not suer if it is enough with another folder, the link appears as it should.
