I get this often, with the addition that any file created in an external program does not show up automatically in Nautilus (even if no Nautilus window was open when the file was created). To make the file show up, manual refresh is required. To me this is not a "permanent" bug - restarting Nautilus fixes it.
Next time this happens I have to try this workaround (actually a bit confused is this even about the same problem really): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1185095/comments/5 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040591 Title: Extracted files to Nautilus are not visible without a refresh To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1040591/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
