	Jun 6 2007	ROBOGOBO I like this program, very useful. However, it does nothing to force update desktop item info (under the icon). The free space under a Volume reflects the info at Startup, and not the current. I've tried logout/relogin, relaunch the finder, etc. Nothing works. Any ideas? (Version 1.1)		0

BRUCE_Y In order for the Finder to reflect adjusted HD Volume space free/available on the desktop view, one must restart the Finder. This seems to be a "Feature" of the Mac OS X and/or specifically of OS X Finder.

For me, I enable the Finder menu Quit item (via TinkerTool or Mac Pilot or Onyx), and then just Quit and restart the Finder. It always (for me) shows the revised and accurate space "free" under each HD volume after Finder restart. It should not be needed to restart the whole computer.

MIKURO The Finder also updates them whenever an item is added or removed from the root level of the volume. So if you open the volume and make a new folder, it'll update. It's a bit quicker than quitting and relaunching the Finder.

	Aug 30 2006	BRUCE_Y Even Tiger Finder still needs a Nudge file feature, since there are many instances when a file info (mostly size, sometimes date) is not updated until forced. Nudge does that. However, i am staying with old Nudge version 1.0.1, because I do not want an artificial change of Modification Date to today, as is now done by Nudge 1.1 all the time. I rely on the file Date of Mofication to be real - that is, when file content was last changed. So be warned that using Nudge 1.1 will set Modification date to current date. If you like that, go for it. Otherwise, stick with older Nudge 101, which still does work under Tiger. (Version 1.1)		0

	Aug 16 2004	ANONYMOUS Works perfectly in 10.3.5. Until Apple wises up and gives the Finder a real overhaul, this is simply indispensable. (Version 1.01)		0

	Jan 30 2004	ANONYMOUS I needed this. Files I transferred onto CIFS shares (and less often, local files) wouldn't show themselves until I clicked on another volume, did a funny dance and sprinkled tea on my computer. Works as advertised. Thanks (Version 1.0)		0
