The new video for those who can see it is here: https://gnu.support/images/tmp/2022-12-23/2022-12-23-07:56:46.ogv Conditions that Dired buffer will not update is related to default directory being changed, being something else than what is the Dired buffer. To reproduce it in `emacs -Q' you please do following: - go into any Dired buffer; - M-x cd RET and change default directory to something else than Dired buffer - key B will inject new lines of a byte-compiled file without refreshing, delete by moving to Trash will delete without refreshing the Dired buffer. I can only assume that variable `default-directory' shall remain local to Dired buffer even if user invokes `M-x cd' or programmatically `cd'. And I never invoke `M-x cd' in Dired buffers, but I may invoke it in other functions such as below: (defun cf-send-sms (id) "Sends the SMS by using default SMS function" (cd (getenv "HOME")) And the reason to `cd' to HOME directory is to escape programs to try external commands within Tramp directories. I will try using `executable-find' for external programs, but again I think that when my functions get Tramp directory as default directory then they don't find either executables or directories, that is why I am changing to $HOME. For Dired updating, I think that M-x cd shall not change the default-directory for Dired buffer -- and again -- I am not using it interactively but in functions. Now I can't remember how I invoked a function that uses `cd' but I can focus on it next time. Maybe I just launched some of functions. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M. Stallman https://stallmansupport.org/
