Bug description
My download folder is not displaying all the files. It's not because they are hidden but some other issue. See screen shot below showing files listed from the terminal and files listed in the download folder with nemo.
Here are screen shots of the individual windows:
Nemo:
Terminal:
E.g. the file 12004930900000081.pdf is not visible in nemo.
Steps to reproduce
Not sure how to reproduce it. It started happening yesterday 2024-12-12 GMT+1. Downloading files from firefox and then opening the download folder wouldn't display the files.
Also, if I copy a file using terminal to the download directory, it does not appear in nemo.
Expected behavior
When a file is downloaded into the ~/Download folder, it would be shown in the download folder in nemo.
When I copy a file into a folder, using the terminal, it should be visible in nemo when opening that folder.
Additional information
Restarting nemo by executing nemo -q from terminal is a workaround for the issue.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing-file behavior in Nemo 6.0.2 on Linux Mint 21.3, comparing files copied or downloaded into ~/Download with the terminal listing. Check whether restarting Nemo with nemo -q restores the display, and use that as the observable baseline. Done means newly created or copied files consistently appear without restarting Nemo.
