Refreshing files without killall Finder? I would like to have a file list refresh in a Folder (like after switching between YES/NO in hidden files option). The only way I found is killall Finder which is fine, but it causes the screen to blinks for a sec (as the Finder is restarting).

Is there a way to refresh the Finder file list without actually killing it?
This particular use hadn't occurred to me.  I have finder set to always show all my files.  However sometimes when a new file is created it doesn't show up. Switching to another directory and switching back seems to work.  E.g. Switch to the parent, or a sibling directory, then back to your starting one.  Two clicks.  Much faster than relaunching Finder.
