Without the phone being able to send events every time its filesystem
changes the viewer is always going to be out of date. It can only show
historical data. It is impossible to 100% guarantee that the data is
accurate; I don't think the changes you made make a significant improvement
in accuracy as the directory structure almost never changes.
The original treeview displayed the available data and updated it as new
data came from the phone, I think we should continue with this design; it
has worked OK for users for a few years now. All I intended when changing
the view was to make the GUI function similarly to filesystem viewers on
windows and linux, I reused all the code from the old class with respect to
phone communication, there is more risk that we will break something on an
untested phone if the way we communicate with phone is changed.

For changing phones, we should add a method in the viewer that gets called
when the phone changes, this would delete the tree view contents and return
the viewer to it's initial state.
