Bug Description

Maybe this is a Nautilus bug I don't know but it seems that if I have an open directory in Nautilus and use File Roller to extact an archive. The extracted files are not visible without refreshing the Nautilus window.

Actually it also happening when compressing files with a right-click in nautilus. The new compressed file does not seem to show up,

I get this often, with the addition that any file created in an external program does not show up automatically in Nautilus (even if no Nautilus window was open when the file was created). To make the file show up, manual refresh is required. To me this is not a "permanent" bug - restarting Nautilus fixes it.

Next time this happens I have to try this workaround (actually a bit confused is this even about the same problem really): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1185095/comments/5
