from active_path About "If a node is named @path <path_to_folder> , the content (file and folder names) of the folder and the children of that node will synchronized whenever you double-click the node's status-iconbox."
I'm not seeing this currently, I'm using 'set to absolute recursive', which prepends @auto and provides fully qualified path, then doing 'Refresh from disk' I seem to remember different behaviour ...
