I have a colouring rule setup, that will colour files that have been modified within the last 3 minutes.
(using the Age 1.0.4 wdx plugin)
It works great.
The issue is that the colouring will remain, even when I refresh the panel after three minutes have passed.
To reset the colouring I will have to leave the directory, and then return to it.
Could this be some bug in TC or in the plugin?
Is there a way to force a more thorough 'refresh'?
edit:
I just noticed it will also get reset after selecting another tab, and then re-selecting the original tab.
(not a perfect solution, but it's a little quicker then leaving the directory and returning to it)
Refreshing a panel doesn't reset 'age' highlight colouring.

Update, I have found some sort of solution.
Since I discovered that the panel is fully refreshed and updated after switching tabs, I changed the refresh command from:
cm_RereadSource
to:
cm_SwitchToPreviousTab, cm_SwitchToNextTab
That works fine and completely refreshes the panel.
Still I am curious if TC's 'refresh' command not fully refreshing the colouring rule also could be considered a bug, and might be addressed.

TC doesn't recalculate all the colors when nothing changes in a directory and you use refresh.

I don't do it because the user can choose any plugins for determining the colors, and they can take a long time to recalculate. Since TC updates the lists each time you switch from another program to it, it could slow down operation quite a bit.
