dumb noob finder question

[BabaG]

how do i refresh a finder window view? i've been rendering
files out of final cut and sometimes they don't show up in
the finder window for the directory i've put them in. if i go
back to final cut and test by starting a re-export, i can see
the file in that view and the dialog will prompt me to ok an
overwrite of the file. at that point i cancel but still can't see
the file in the finder. windows has 'view--->refresh' as an
option and that usually clears things up when something like
this occurs under that os. how do i refresh the view in osx
so these files will become visible? (btw, they also do show
up using the terminal.)

thanks,
BabaG

You can relaunch Finder from Force Quit.

Which version of OS X are you using?

This works too.

I think forcing Finder to quit and restart may be overkill in this instance.

It's not overkill in Tiger and even more so over NFS.

Relaunching Finder stops all Finder actions: copying files via Drag & Drop, etc.

I'd just use the Refresh app posted above.
