Comment 1 for bug 1671960

If the change in structure is due to a file being dropped or pasted into the view this is due to the intended behaviour that such files are selected (at the expense of any existing selection). I believe there was a bug requesting this.

I found that the existing selection was not lost if a new file appeared due to being created from the commandline with "touch".

However, if a file was renamed from the commandline (or from another Files window) then the selection was lost, which seems inconsistent.

I think it needs to be carefully defined under what circumstances (if any) newly created files in a view a selected and if they are, whether they are added to or replace any existing selection.
