<p>Not really a valid use case; KDirWatcher should update the view for you automatically, and there's no practical benefit to mashing the reload button. The button isn't there to facilitate OCD. :) To do that, just hit <kbd style="display: inline-block; min-width: 1em; padding: 4px 5px 5px; font-weight: normal; font-size: 0.8rem; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; line-height: 0.6rem; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08); user-select: none; background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #C7CCD9;">F5</kbd>. :)</p>

<p>The Reload functionality is still available via the <kbd style="display: inline-block; min-width: 1em; padding: 4px 5px 5px; font-weight: normal; font-size: 0.8rem; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; line-height: 0.6rem; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08); user-select: none; background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #C7CCD9;">F5</kbd> as well as the context menu. Are those not enough for this use case? And how common is this, really? I'm not sure that "file manipulation from the open/save dialog on a slow network drive" is a common enough use case to justify taking up space in an extremely constrained UI to show a button for reloading the view, especially once that functionality is available via another GUI method too (it's always available via <kbd style="display: inline-block; min-width: 1em; padding: 4px 5px 5px; font-weight: normal; font-size: 0.8rem; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; line-height: 0.6rem; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08); user-select: none; background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid #C7CCD9;">F5</kbd>.</p>
<p>Ultimately the pressure here will be reduced by making the toolbar editable, so people who really want a visible Reload button can have one. But until then, we need to ask ourselves whether the <em>general user</em> benefits from having this button always visible, more than he or she might benefit from having something or more general usefulness visible in the toolbar (e.g. a dropdown menu button that exposes sorting options).</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R241 KIO</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D12218">https://phabricator.kde.org/D12218</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>ngraham, Frameworks<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>markg, broulik, rkflx, Dolphin, michaelh, ngraham, bruns<br /></div>
