Dolphin not refreshing or updating image files ( a workaround )

[artytux]

I found this happening only by doing other things and what an odd thing

I'm extracting pages from some PDF's on screen one, screen two has the file windows (two of) opened,
two windows set to show Created Newest First
as I'm getting some pages out as png's, this can happen Dolphin does not refresh to the newest image files OK just press F5 and there they are at the top of the first window,
never did know where they disappeared to when not showing up.
I had moved the second window display to see what other pdf to do next, later on I did move back to the bottom of second window and there were the newly created images
press F5 they've gone to top of page so if your Dolphin window is not auto refreshing new images try this

Workaround
open a second window for same files then Have one window view at the top the other window at bottom so you don't need to do an F5 constantly, just look at the second window
but when you do F5 all will be as it should , but in the in between you can see the new files created at the bottom of the second window.

I hope I have explained this well and not clear as mud, One of those wow moments ( for me anyway ) just had to share.

Thank you for the workaround!

This appears to be a longer standing bug in Dolphin from what I can find. Supposedly, if you create a 'refresh' button in the tool bar this will fix it. But.. very nice to have another way around it.

I knew about the refresh button I only found this by chance having the second window open for the same folder, some machine do and some machines don't.
