I love the ability to mount Windows shares directly, but sometimes when I have one mounted, and then make a change (e.g. copying a file into it) on the Windows box, the file doesn’t appear on my Mac.

I can find it and open it from the command line, but is there any way to tell the Finder to re-read the folder and refresh its display? I’ve tried the obvious things like closing and reopening the window, or going up a directory and coming back down. i need the equivalend of pressing F5 or selecting View/Refresh in Windows.

Suggestions welcomed with thanks.

I haven’t found this to be a problem in Mac OS X 10.1 any more.  In 10.0.x, I used the lame solution of creating a folder and then deleting that folder.  That seemed to force a refresh.  Again, I know it’s lame, but I never bothered figuring anything else out once I stumbled on that one. 

Mmm. Well, I’m using 10.1 but still have the problem. Still, your creating and deleting suggestion seems to work fine, though only, presumably, if I have write access to the share.

I probably ought to learn enough AppleScript to be able to script this…

Thanks,
Quentin
