Show focused item frame - Show the focus after REFRESH (enhancement request)

Please enhance the add-on so that the focus will also show up after REFRESH (e.g. pressing F5), even when NO ITEM IS SELECTED because:

  • no item is selected before refresh
  • multiple selection is reset due to refresh
  • selected items have been deleted
  • any other reasons

Currently after pressing F5, the focus is not shown.

I have tried TE 22.2.17. The enhancement is there.

However, I find that the add-on does not work properly if GROUPING is used. Example:

Navigate to a folder
20220218_135710
The focus does not show up if GROUPING is used and SORTING is NOT by NAME.
20220218_135729
Put the focus on GROUP HEADING
20220218_135802
Press F5 to refresh. The focus does not show up.
20220218_135918
The above also shows another problem: After a file list using grouping is refreshed, MULTIPLE SELECTION IS NOT RESET as opposed to when grouping is not used. In addition, an unselected item may unexpectedly become selected.

I have tried TE 22.2.18:

"Refresh when focus is on group heading" case is solved.

However other cases above are still unsolved:

  1. After navigation, focus does not show up if GROUPING is used and SORTING is NOT by NAME.
  2. MULTIPLE SELECTION should be canceled after refresh.

2 more cases are newly found:

  1. Sometimes focus does not show up just after TE starts up
    after restart

  2. In DETAILS VIEW, use arrow keys or Page Down key to move from a group heading to an item. The focus disappears.
    group heading to item 1
    group heading to item 2
