Product Description:

A simple, faceless application to refresh the contents of all open Finder windows. Also refreshes more than one level down, when using expanded folders in list view. I got sick of creating new folders, opening and closing windows, and changing views to update window contents, especially for network volumes. 10.4 has improvements over previous OSes, but still lacking. If this was a windows application it would be called ``F5key''.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.2.x or higher

Sorry, without further explanation what to do with the application once downloaded it does not do anything.
Download and what next? It just sits there in the applications folder.
How do I get it to start working?

RefreshWindows Usage TipIn a Finder window - Version: 1.0, 2/21/2006 01:49PM PST

I stuck the icon for this app in the Finder window's Toolbar. I placed it to the right of the Action menu button (already existing) and the Get Info button (previously added). It's not as instantaneous as Windows' F5 key, but still gets the job done.
