I've been looking for a solution since OSX arrived – and with every new feline hoping someone at apple would have double clicked a newly-changed-but-stuck-on-an-old-date file only to have it jump, thus firing the file that moves into it's place and ruining something they had been working on, and then realizing it needed fixing.
Talk about amateur hour. I wonder if the Tampod does this too?
Thanks so much Shane. Works great on 10.4.11. I've seen the future and it is Snow Leopard and it look just like the future in all those bleak SciFi films. I'm hanging on as long as possible. But truly, can I have OS9 back?
Cheers

Works great on 10.6.2. Thanks for filling in the gaps of the OS X team.

Excellent Shane! Thanks so much. And just FYI it's working fine for me on 10.5.8….

Thanks!

I'm new in the mac world, and needed the refresh function when connecting to my NAS. Not only did it fix my problem it also showed me the need way of enhancing the GUI and the functionality of the system. Im pretty impressed!

Thank you Shane! Simple, elegant, and really helpful. Why Apple didn't include this function is beyond me…

Dunno… It's behaved that way since the day I bought it.
Same thing with the “compress” function screwing up and giving “compression failed due to an unknown error” forever more until I reboot the machine.

Hi. Not sure what's gone wrong for you but it definately works under 10.5.8 on all the systems I've tested. Perhaps there is something more deep rooted that needs to be resolved on your system?

Thanks,
Shane.

Cool little app, except it doesn't work under OSX 10.5.8

I can click the refresh button till I'm blue in the face and it won't update the list. And yet I can manually go to shell and see the file I'm looking for.

I seem to be spending more and more time in a shell nowadays just to get around a br0ken GUI. Reminds me of the early Linux days where the only way to fix something was to drop to shell.
