Couple days ago, I noticed that dopus wouldn't update the folder and show all files in the directory and that I had to force an update with F5. The problem went away but just came back... Here, the comparison of file explorer and dopus with two files in the directory. [Snag_a104e2] When I delete…

[image] Changes to folders are not being detected light_bulbOpus FAQs Opus should detect changes to folders automatically, but there are some things to check first: Fully exit Opus and restart it, in case the problem is with the Windows change-notification s…

I did exactly that before taking those screenshots. This resolved my icon size issue yesterday... I just shut down dopus again and started, copied a file into the File Explorer window and dopus didn't show it :frowning: It required me to press F5 before it showed up [Snag_b06d38]

What does the debug output show?

I looked up how to do it... Here, I enabled context_menu_debug, downloaded DebugView and let it run. Nothing got flagged when I copied a file into explorer [Snag_b9056a] Is this what you were looking for?

Either change notification is completely broken on the machine or the debugging isn't turned on. If you see any changes update folders in Opus but nothing in the debug log, it's likely the debugging isn't turned on properly.

Do you have any step by step instructions maybe?

Only what's in the guide I linked. :slight_smile: (I can't think of any steps that are missing there, at least.) Have you tried everything in the guide? ChangeTest.exe?

Oh, sorry. Didn't read the debug portion of the linked doc... Went ahead and followed those instructions and logged the activity in the directory with ChangeTest. It did log something but the dopus did not update when I copied a file into file explorer [Snag_1b26a73]

ChangeText.exe working is a good sign at least. But Opus still won't output any change information to DebugView, when notify_debug is turned on in Preferences? If you use File > Exit Directory Opus, then re-open the program, is there still no information when changes are made?

I can confirm that notify_debug is turned on [Snag_7cfe294] I exited dopus and started it again, copied a file into file explorer while logging that directory with ChangeText.exe. Once again, the file is not displayed in dopus :frowning: [Snag_7d1843e]
