I have a few drives connected to my Mac, and I have the option on, where it tells the Disc info below the icon of each drive. Example: 232.74 GB, 171.23 GB free

Only problem is, it seems to update very slowly.

What's the use of having Info below my drive icon, if it's not correct ?

As an example, I have one drive which I wiped 100% 30 minutes ago. The info is still showing up as being half full.

Is there anyway to force-refresh this info ? Turning my machine on/off is not a good solution BTW.

The info below the disc icons is useful, now if only it were 100% accurate, it might even be more useful.

Just to further reinforce my point. . . . .

It's been about two hours, and still the disc shows the wrong info. . . . .It's 100% blank, yet it's showing up as having stuff on it. . . . . .

About half of these show incorrect info. . . . . .

The one marked EMPTY should be EMPTY.

So, I suppose not many people use the Disc Info option I can assume. . . . . . . .

Anyhow, I found out that I can reset/update the Disc Info figure by logging out & in again.
A stupid solution, but it'll work until Apple fixes the huge lag they have currently.

I've been waiting for a refresh/reload button for a long time. When you're browsing network shares your only option for an instant refresh is creating a new folder.

FinderSync 1.0.2

Wonder if that will help?!
