If you have a right click menu open at the time it does its auto update, the menu closes. Also, when the auto update happens, the whole MC interface does a refresh.
Both of these things will probably stop me using this feature. Too much potential for something 'not good' to happen whilst I'm working on file sets, tags, etc.
For example, I could enter a search to get at some files, and start working on those files, making changes that mean they no longer match the search. It's a wonderful thing that despite that, the files stay so I can complete whatever I'm doing. This forced refresh causes them to vanish midway through my work.
I was curious how this would work on a dark skin. Around ten years or more ago, I found this over at DeviantArt...
https://www.deviantart.com/alexander234/art/Silent-Night-167394420I've been tweaking it a bit, both to be more to my liking, and to make it look correct on today's MC, (without scaling support) so activated the auto brightness on it...
For me, late at night, it gets a bit too dark. It's attached if anyone else wants to try it.
