Description

- have a very bad internet connection
- enter a big folder, with recent changes
- you see old file list
- wait a moment
- file list is changed as refresh is done

This has several problems
- you could try to do an operation on a file/folder that does not exist anylonger
- clicking on a file might open up another file as the order was just changed in this very exact moment

Any ideas how to prevent this?
With changing eTags we know before we enter a subfolder that the content has changed, so showing an outdated file list is not the best idea...

@nextcloud/designers webUI is showing somekind of process dialog until loading is finished, or?
