Moved to using KDE recently and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted in aesthetics and customization. Unfortunately, dolphin doesn’t refresh when files are moved around and while I tried to accept it, I just can’t. Showing me where files are is literally the only job of a file manager.

Are there any other file managers that can take all the themes and colors in KDE? I love having a full theme but I can’t stand this manual refresh thing.

    Are you using btrfs by any chance? I think copy-on-write can sometimes cause delays in Dolphin. Mine doesn’t always update the free disk space right away when I delete a file, for example.

        Oh sorry! In Linux there are different ways of formatting your drives, kind of like FAT32 and NTFS in Windows, if you’re familiar with those? Anyway, ext4 is like the old reliable in Linux, and btrfs is the newer one which I think is the default on some distros now.

        Anyway, if you open up Konsole and type lsblk -f it should tell you which one you have. I don’t think you can change it without reformatting and starting over though.
