Description
I have opened an issue:
https://github.com/fman-users/fman/issues/784
Michael closed the issue, after his response. I understand why fman is working like he is. Total Commander is also behaving like this. I was just hoping that fman is the "guy" who can do it and nobody else can. Still fman is the best. Keep up the good work and may the force be with you.
I don't know how the "issue closed" is working. Maybe nobody will see my answer, that is why i am opening a new issue. The closed issue and this one have maybe something in common.
Issue:
I can understand that only by clicking on fman pane will show the new file that is created outside of fman. But the problem "not showing the new file" is also present if i copy a file with fman from Folder1 to Folder2. Timestamp and file size doesn't change on right pane and i have to go out from Folder2 and back into Folder2 again, to make sure that the new file was actually copied.
File created in Folder1 at 12:01 and copied to Folder2 at 12:01:

After one min the dummyFile in Folder1 was recreated and the size increased to see the difference and copied to the Folder2 (The file was actually copied, but fman didnt refresh the right pane):

After going out from the Folder2 and going back in:

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the copy from Folder1 to Folder2 and inspect the refresh behavior; done means the right pane immediately shows the copied file's current timestamp and size without leaving and reopening Folder2.
