Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Nemo's List view by moving a file into an empty folder and observe the folder status and contents arrow. Trace the update path triggered by the move, then verify that the folder immediately shows its non-empty state without reopening or refreshing the parent directory.

Description
* Nemo version 4.6.5
* Is issue with desktop or windowed nemo?
* Distribution - Linux Mint 20 Ulyana
* NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 | Driver: 450.80.02
* 64 bit
Issue
If you have an empty folder in List view and move a file into it, Nemo still indicates that the folder is empty. The arrow to the left showing the folder's contents will not appear until you re-open or refresh the directory containing the now non-empty folder.
Steps to reproduce
- Have Nemo open in List view.
- Navigate to a directory with an empty folder or create an empty folder.
- Move a file into the empty folder. This can be a newly created file.
- The folder still shows that it's empty.
Expected behaviour
After moving the file inside the folder, the folder updates to show that there is now a file inside it.
