Introduction

As a user of Keka extension on macOS, you may have encountered a frustrating issue where new files generated by BUGFinder are not visible in the specified directory. This problem seems to be related to the Keka extension, and we will delve into the details of this issue, its configuration, and the steps to reproduce it.

Configuration

To better understand the issue, let's take a look at the configuration details:

Keka version: 1.4.7
macOS version: 15.3.1

These versions are crucial in understanding the compatibility and potential conflicts between the Keka extension and BUGFinder.

Describe the Bug

The issue arises when generating screenshots, which are supposed to be stored in a well-defined directory. Initially, everything works as expected, and the screenshots are visible in the specified directory. However, after some time, the screenshots become invisible in the directory, but they can be found using Spotlight. This behavior is peculiar, as the screenshots behave normally when moved around from the Spotlight Finder window.

Relaunching Finder does not help, and restarting the system is the only solution to resolve the issue. Moreover, disabling the Keka extension for Finder and relaunching the Finder after that also resolves the problem. The effect disappears when the Keka extension is turned off and reappears when it is set to on.

To Reproduce

To reproduce this issue, follow the steps outlined above:

Install Keka extension on your macOS system.
Configure BUGFinder to generate screenshots and store them in a specified directory.
Observe the initial behavior, where the screenshots are visible in the directory.
Wait for some time, and the screenshots will become invisible in the directory.
Use Spotlight to find the screenshots, and they will be visible.
Move the screenshots around from the Spotlight Finder window, and they will behave normally.
Relaunching Finder will not resolve the issue.
Restarting the system will resolve the issue.
Disable the Keka extension for Finder and relaunch the Finder after that to resolve the issue.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is that the Keka extension should not block Finder from discovering new files. In other words, the Keka extension should not interfere with the normal functioning of BUGFinder, and the screenshots should be visible in the specified directory without any issues.
