I have > noticed that new files don't show up until you do a refresh .. Quote No its not a Gnome bug. Gnome is now using gamin as the monitor through its file browser (Nautilus). This program ensures that Nautilus is always kept aware of any changes that are made. That is why you need to hit refresh to view any newly added file. Fam was the old way and gamin is really a branch of fam which stands for File Alteration Monitor so you can decypher what that means. I dont know if FC3 installs any of them as they are not needed but do make your file manager recognize changes and keep up with them much more efficiently. Even in KDE this is the case and it takes a few seconds or sometimes even a refresh to show a newly added file through the gui. Microsoft Explorer ovecomes this by being in a constant state of "refresh" which isnt to good on memory usage. But this is not a bug, its normal behaviour. Check your install and see what you have running. Since you are using Gnome, make sure you install the latest version of gamin and stick it in your start script so it loads by default, this should help in Nautilus keeping track of newly created files. Conversely if you run KDE, gamin, while being a much better work off fam, runs quite poorly, so you will have to stick with fam which runs off the horribly unsecure portmap... End Quote gamin is install by default but if you do a top i don't see it listed as a running process also, in services it is not listed there any thoughts to the gurus out there? ~Jim Lawrence Registered Linux User: #376813 ******************************************************** When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle.
