This hint is handy when Finder does not update its window contents after an application modifies a file, and clicking in the window does not update as it should. This hint serves the same purpose as F5 in Windows Explorer.
- Create the following Applescript
try
tell application "Finder" to update items of front window
end try
- Assign your new AppleScript to a hotkey using Butler
- Under Butler Configuration, Ccreate a new file item (command+N) within the Invisible items container.
- Set the path to the compiled AppleScript created in step 1.
- Set it to open with "Execute Applescript"
- Assign a hotkey (I assigned mine to command+option+`)
That's it!
