Refresh a Finder window to force it to update
Authored by: mnb on Jun 17, '13 12:21:18PM

filename changes are not updated in Finder on NFS mounts in 10.7.5. At least not in a remotely timely manner when using mv to change the name.

Workaround:
1) mv to another name
2) cp file to name you want that wasn't working
3) rm name from step 1

That works. It's lame, but it's the only method I've found that works. The AppleScript shown above didn't work.

Finder also hangs on to files removed with rm. ie: it still thinks they're there.
