been having a weird problem ever since getting the new mac pro over a year ago, and not sure what is going on…can anyone offer a suggestion?
My Finder windows often fail to update when new files are added. Often resulting in several minutes of opening and shutting windows, navigating to unrelated folders just to try force a refresh.
When i convert video files using Compressor - the resulting files won’t show up until i hit the little reveal magnifying glass next to the processed file name in Compressor.
I’m running os 10.15.7, and the files are being saved onto a Promise Pegasus2 R8.
thanks

I’ve seen this for years happening on network volumes. Only workaround I know: Creating a new folder (cmd-shit-n) forces a refresh of the current directory. A bit annoying but a least very quick to do …
Is this only happening on the promise drive. If so then it might have something to do with the way the promise is setup. I had this issue a few years ago with a promise nas and it was due to the cache settings. I also have a promise r8 so we can compare settings if you like.
Hi John, I’ve only really noticed it on the Pegasus…but thats because its my main drive. However, my colleague sees the same thing and his Mac is connected to Lacie raids and not Promise.
No idea where cache settings get set…i cannot see anywhere in the Promise Utility that would help.
