Right now if I change a .swc that is added to the fdt libraries, i have to hit refresh by hand. It would be nice if you could auto-refresh the .swc's one change. As far as I know it should be possible using File listeners. Would save me some time in development (having all my assets in a .swc)

Don't get me wrong, but mine are auto-refreshing. Once I've overwritten the .swc from the Flash IDE it directly blinks&refreshes the FDT workspace.

Not for me=/ OS X 10.6, workspace autorefresh and workspace autobuild is on.

Pavel,

I'll close this issue then. If it comes up, please comment on it again.

Thanks for following up.

It doesn't work when FDT is consuming more of RAM (at the bottom when it allocates about more then 500mb (1gb in total). But it workes when it's fresh and memory consumption is low. Will FDT4.2 with new Eclipse version fix it maybe?

Perhaps. Let us know when you try this with 4.2

Nope, workspace refresh still works from time to time. FDT 4.2 64bit standalone, OS X 10.6

FDT 5.0.0.1412 for Mac, flash explorer still won't refresh automatically (e.g. ant script is copying smth to bin folder — not visible in flash explorer until manual refresh).

I now finally understand what the issue was.

There isn't anything reasonable for us to do. This is an underlying Eclipse issue. What is happening is that files are being added / removed / edited in a process outside of Eclipse. Because of this, Eclipse doesn't know that something has changed.

This happens for every Eclipse plugin (even JDT).

The only way for us to have it behave differently would be to scan the project, remember what is in there and then keep polling it and see if anything doesn't match up with the previous poll. This would be quite performance taxing.

Really, the best thing to do would be to use the 'Refresh' keystroke (F5 by default) to refresh the project.

...or...you can make sure you have auto-refresh turned on. It's off by default for performance reasons.

Autorefresh is turned on of course, but still no effect. Only manual update. Previous FDT was doing this job errrm a bit more often then new one=) But still not always.
