Summary

  • Add persistent directory watching for the currently open folder.
  • Refresh listings when files are created, renamed, deleted, or modified.
  • Reconfigure the watcher when navigating to another folder.
  • Keep hidden files excluded from the visible listing.
  • Add inotify-tools as a runtime dependency.

Validation

  • aarch64 release build
  • JavaScript checks (1155 checks, 0 failed)
  • Keymap generation and validation
  • Live visible-file create, rename, and delete in ~/test
  • Hidden-file exclusion in ~/test
  • Intel validation

The change is intentionally not merged; Intel validation remains pending.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Directory listings now refresh automatically when filesystem changes are detected.
    • Added a Ctrl+R shortcut to manually refresh the current listing.
    • Added a “Refresh” option to the context menu when automatic refreshing is unavailable.
    • Refresh activity is coordinated to avoid unnecessary repeated updates during bursts of changes.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Refresh state is correctly reset when navigating to a different directory, preventing stale refresh requests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

Automatic directory refresh

Layer / File(s) Summary
Directory watcher and refresh scheduling
PKGBUILD, ui/Pane.qml, ui/js/Nav.js
The pane uses inotifywait to detect directory changes, coalesces refresh events, and resets watcher state when navigation changes the path.
Manual refresh fallback
ui/ContextMenu.qml, ui/js/Menu.js, tests/js/menu.js
The context menu shows Refrescar when automatic watching is unavailable.
Refresh keybinding and handling
keys.toml, ui/js/Keymap.js, ui/js/Focus.js, tests/js/keymap.js
Ctrl+R triggers refresh, and the keymap sheet documents the shortcut.

Platform pointer compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Explicit syscall pointer casts
src/backend/fsinfo.rs, src/backend/ops.rs
statfs and renameat2 calls now pass explicit *const i8 pointers.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3e67f

Automatic directory refresh can issue redundant listings or miss changes while another listing is running, so the watcher path should be corrected before merge.

Run the repository QML gate in check().

check() runs from the repository root but does not invoke tools/flea-qmllint-gate. The package() step copies ui/*.qml without validating it, so invalid QML can pass package checks.

   ./tests/js.sh
   ./tests/keymap-gen.sh
+  ./tools/flea-qmllint-gate

Use the wrapper instead of raw qmllint ui/*.qml; it handles the repository's known diagnostics and validates the executable path.

Route watcher events through requestAutoRefresh().

This direct call bypasses the 250 ms settle timer and the listInFlight queue. A rename or batch write can issue repeated listings, and a change during a listing is not queued. Call root.requestAutoRefresh() here.

Proposed fix
-                    root.refresh("")
+                    root.requestAutoRefresh()

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

The directory watch shipped in v0.1.5 (#68) covers the refresh; the extra control is not taken in 0.1.6, thanks for the report.
