Konqueror has this essential feature that it actively tracks changes in the directories and automatically refreshes the view when a directory contents changes (e.g. a file was copied or removed to/from a directory by an external program). I remember back in the days this used to break once every couple of weeks (I used to have uptimes of up to several months on my laptop) and then Konqueror would stop refreshing the view even if the contents of directory changed, requiring a press of F5 to refresh the view. A solution then would be to restart Konqueror. However, for the past 2-3 months this is happening every hour or two, meaning that I often find myself restarting Konqueror multiple times a day, which has become a major problem for me. I would really appreciate an investigation of this.
