Target Contact Sheet not Refreshing after Extract
« on: October 11, 2007, 05:14:02 PM »
After extracting a JPG from a raw file into a folder that is open on a contact sheet, the image does not appear in the conteact sheet that is displaying the target folder.  If I click Vew|Refresh that doesn't help.  If I right click an image on the target contact sheet and open an explorer window (Win XP), and then close the explorer window, the image then appears in the contact sheet.  I didn't see that little dance in the manual  ;D

Is this some quirk of my Win configuration or do others experience this?  When I 'save as...' to a folder that is open on a contact sheet, I see the saved image immediately.  I don't have to do wild gyrations with windows explorer to kick start it  ;D

While I don't know why the images aren't immediately showing up for you, but the Rescan command on the File menu should do the trick.

I have made a change to rescan the destination folder.

Thank you...  I think this will make things more consistent and save a lot of clicking.  I know I do a lot of extracts and have worked my way down that tree many times.
