Description
External changes to the content of a directory made by other applications are
not automatically shown in lf.
One has to navigate out and in the directory again, or issue the reload
command manually in order to see the latest listing.
Using the period setting mitigates the issue, but isn't ideal due to the
added delay and is sometimes inefficient for large directories.
Instead, it could be nice to have an option to subscribe to directory updates.
This is possible through the inotify API on Linux. Other platforms have
equivalents. There are probably libraries abstracting that too.
This would be especially convenient when keeping lf to the side while
producing/downloading documents in other windows at the same time for example.
