Description of problem: Auto-refresh with gamin doesn't work unless you rebuild the Thunar package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.5.0rc2 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Thunar, open Terminal 2. $ touch test 3. No "test" file is shown in Thunar Actual results: No "test" file is shown in Thunar Expected results: "test" file should appear in Thunar Additional info: After rebuilding the Thunar package I was immediately able to see the "test" file when I touched it. I can also see other file operations happen immediately. Sounds like something didn't get built right with gamin somehow?
Odd. It works fine for me here... Thunar was built with gamin support: ... checking for gamin >= 0.1.0... 0.1.7 checking LIBFAM_CFLAGS... -I/usr/include/fam checking LIBFAM_LIBS... -lgamin-1 ... What is the output of 'rpm -q Thunar' there?
Thunar-0.5.0-0.1.rc2 I'm not doubting the official package was built with gamin support, but for some reason it isn't working when I use the official package. It affects two systems I use XFCE on. One is a development machine(32-bit), and another is a desktop machine (64-bit). I finally got fed up that it wasn't refreshing automatically I rebuilt it manually and it's working fine now. Per your SPEC file, you can't even build Thunar unless you have gamin-devel installed, so I'm as puzzled as you are on this.
Forget the desktop machine, it works fine. For some reason it only affected my 32-bit machine. Unsure if the reinstall of the Thunar did something... so you might put this bug on the back burner for a few weeks and if you don't hear from me it's probably nothing to worry about.
So both machines are now working? Or the 32bit devel machine is still not working?
I reinstalled the official Thunar package and it seems to be OK. Reinstalling seemed to have fixed it.
