When using Dolphin to monitor a directory, I find that modifications
from outside Dolphin, such as creating or deleting files from the
Shell, sometimes don't update the current view until I hit F5. Other
times, the files appear or disappear immediately. Unless my memory is
failing, the F5 never used to be required. What has changed?
I'm currently on dolphin-19.12.1-1.fc31.x86_64 but this has been an
issue for several weeks.

FWIW, I rarely use dolphin. But, I just brought it up now. Displaying ~. I think just
did "touch x" and less than one second it appeared. "rm x" and it was
gone just as
quickly.
Even if I got to an NFS mounted directory the action is just as quick.
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ rpm -q dolphin

Same here, except when it isn't. Hard to pin down the exact conditions.

Do you always have a dolphin window open? And any idea as to the frequency of the
anomaly?
I do have a Dolphin window permanently open. The issue seems
particularly associated with qBittorrent. The window shows the download
directory and when a new file finishes downloading it should appear
immediately in the window. Sometimes it does and sometimes I have to
hit F5 to see it. File actions from the command line do show up
immediately, but I can't see why qBT should be anything special in this
regard. As I said, this seems to be a fairly recent development but I
doubt I could associate it with a specific update.
