+1 please. I can't understand how this haven't been done before. It would be so great to just have a "refresh" option to update folders

+1 - I've been waiting for this - at least optional - feature for a long time - it would make things a lot easier and save a lot of time.

It seem to be kind of her in DVR 19 but... not auomatic and... only for video files. So close ! Why limiting it to videos? I really need it for all my medias and i don't want to search in a menu for a refresh button i have to click every time i add a media. Make it an option in the media pool "sync with Finder" which would always copy whatever is added to the Finder.

It’s ridiculous to sync only with video files, so it is useless.

The current implementation is pointless without other files.

as mentioned a couple of times here, "superbins" is what you are looking for and has even more handy features to offer.

A button or a menu item to resynchronize all the media inside a bin would be perfect. A real time watch folder is not necessary
