    Most file managers automatically update changed files and that
    doesn't surprise users.

The precise details of display format can have a big effect on whether
the update bothers users, and how much.

Ultimately, the only way to judge whether it bothers users too much
is to try it.  But we should POLL THE USERS before enabling it by default.
