What Does It Mean to Refresh a Folder

Adding, moving, copying or editing an image or a folder within ZoomBrowser EX ensures that it is updated and appears correctly in the Browsing Area.
However, the information ZoomBrowser EX possesses and the actual file contents can be different when an image file is moved or copied using Windows functions or edited with a separate program. In this case, the “current state of the folders” has to be checked and updated. This is what is meant by refreshing a folder.
Click the [View] menu and select [Refresh Current Folder]. This will update ZoomBrowser EX’s information about all the folders.
