As long as this is in beta, it is ok that this is an option. (Given, I do not yet understand it semantically).

But as soon as this matter is solved, there should be not "yet another option the user needs to deal with" but instead deleting in flat view should just work.

Closing in GC 11.6.1 (5488) with reset preferences
- Deleting a file (with BACKSPACE) or undoing the deletion (move it back from Trash by CMD-Z) is immediately reflected in flat view
- Also when "Change Notifications for hidden Files and Folder" is OFF, as it was after my preferences reset
- So this really seems to be only a debugging flag, and not a necessity for flat file view to refresh correctly
- I better leave this flag OFF for now.
- Maybe turning it ON and then OFF again may reproduce the bug.
- Maybe using my seemingly broken porg-Preferences-GC-5488-20220426-110502.xml may reproduce the bug too.
- I am not keen to find that out. Am just glad that it finally works 🙂 But I gave you this info should you maybe want to test it.


So from my side we could CLOSE this officially. I leave it up to you.
