I think you might have misunderstood what I posted - I was talking about
the shell (i.e. Windows, not us), and what it does.

What *should* happen here is that hitting F5 causes an immediate
(non-recursive) update, which will probably come straight out of the
cache. The cache should then, in the background, walk through all the
files/subdirectories of that folder, checking if anything's out of
date. When it eventually finds your changed item, it should push that
status up through the cache, telling the shell to update its icon status as
it goes. This might take several seconds - is it possible that after
pressing F5, you didn't wait long enough to see the change?

No, I think that qualifies as a 'tiny' WC!

It should give you the right (recursive) overlay eventually after F5 from a
top-level folder, but it *is* expected that you don't get this immediately.
I will try and repro your problem here.
