Yes, that's evident. But as Mf picks up file creations within a few seconds, surely the same signaling mechanism could be used to also inform of file close, so that size would also soon get set. This does not occur, and it does cause confusion, as in posted example. > (no re-sort on name change) > I suspect this is intentional. Suppose resorting would cause the file > to be outside the current window This is a more minor user problem. But I'd think the update from the re-sort could be centered on the interesting file, with it's new name and position? This seems costless.... N'est-ce pas? Clive
