When selecting a new folder, the folder tree view will update it's contents
along the complete path to the new location - regardless if the time stamps for
those folders have changed. If you have time and/or install GQview from source
the attached patch may help. If the patch fixes this issue please indicate this
so that I can include the patch in the next release.

(If this does not apply because you do not use the folder tree view, then
something is definitely broken in GQview and I will need more information about
your GQview config [~/.gqview/gqviewrc] )


Greetings,
John
