Hi !

Is there a way to force "update for external changes" when new files are added in the scan folders ?

All my files are on a NAS and I'm using SFTP (ssh) to map the network folders, sometimes it's working but most of the time I have to run "Auto update now" to see the new albums appear. The option "update for external changes" is already checked for all folders.

Thanks for your help!

Linux can't automatically sense file changes on network mounted filesystems. Customize your top or bottom toolbar (right click) and add the button for "run autoupdate now"

Sometimes it does sense file changes because MC updates itself without previous action, but it takes time, sometimes it doesn't at all and I have to "run autoupdate now". Anyway thanks for your answer, I'll add the button shortcut.

I assume auto-import is enabled in the background? If so, that's why it updates without previous action, it'll do it from time-to-time. Adding the button triggers the auto-import process immediately, can be handy after making external changes.

Yes it's enabled, but "disable filesystem support for auto-import" is not, and I'm not sure what it's for 

Mint OS ( kernel 6.8.0-51)

Extremely large libraries can run the system out of filesystem watch handles. The option above is useful in that situation or if one simply wanted to use the timer based check (default is 120 minutes)
