[Bug 1432266] [NEW] Allow refreshing folder content by clicking on the folder button in the path after something has been mounted under that folder

 

Public bug reported:

Currently it is necessary to open another folder (e.g. the parent
directory by clicking on the button to the left in the path) or refresh
explicitly after the mount took place. After mounting e.g. on the
command line a user might expect the folder content to be reloaded when
clicking on the folder button on the path and there's no reason to match
that expectation.

Example:

  1. go to /path/to/folder (path buttons are `path` `to` `folder`)
  2. `mount /some/thing /path/to/folder`
  3. click on the path button `folder` -> nothing happens (refresh or clicking path buttons `to` and `folder` is necessary)

The result for 3. should be:

  3. click on the path button `folder` which triggers refresh for
directory content because a mount point has been added whose target
matches `/path/to/folder`
