Description

External programs adding/changing files in the directory that fman currently has open lags quite a bit. It is especially noticeable if there are a large number of files in the same directory.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the code that refreshes an open directory panel after external file changes, then reproduce the lag with a directory containing many files. Done means external additions and changes appear promptly without the current panel becoming noticeably slow.
