![]() Even if the file in question does appear in the file list for the folder in the Finder, select the folder just the same and apply the “Nudge” command to it. ![]() But now I seem to have found another, more convenient work-around. Until now, I thought that the only work-around was to quit and restart the application in question. What do you do if the file list in the Finder does include the file, but not the file list in an “Open File” dialog box in another Mac OS X application? It already existed before Panther, but somehow Apple has managed to make it worse in Panther and, as of Mac OS X 10.3.4, still hasn’t done anything to remedy the problem.įortunately, Rainer Brockerhoff, developer of XRay and other Mac OS X utilities, has developed a free contextual menu plug-in called “ Nudge” that can be used in the Finder to… “nudge” the selected folder and force it to refresh its file list so that it includes all the files that actually exist in the folder.īut this contextual menu plug-in is only available in the Finder itself. As discussed in a previous blog entry, it can affect any Mac OS X application. This problem is, unfortunately, well known and well documented. I return to Safari, reopen the “Open File” dialog to upload the new GIF file, look inside the “Uploads” folder and… the GIF file is not there! I go to the Finder and open the “Uploads” folder in there. I go to my “Uploads” folder in that dialog box, and look for my new GIF file in there… And it’s not there! The button to upload the file to the server opens an “Open File” type of dialog box in Safari. I then switch to Safari to go to my blog system’s control panel, create a new blog entry and upload the GIF file to my server so that I can include in the new entry. I open the snap shot in Photoshop, do a little bit of editing if needed, and then save it as a new web-optimized GIF file in a folder called “Uploads”. ![]() I use Snapz Pro X to take a snap shot of something in my Mac OS X environment. This happens to me quite often - far too often, in fact.
