Add Folders doesn't refresh treeview of folders on disk

V5.50

I used the Add Folders thing to navigate to a folder which contains many sub-folders.
I then selected a subset of the sub-folders, and added them to ReNamer and closed
the 'AddFolders' dialog. I used a rename rule which renamed the selected folders.

Meantime another application had added new subfolders to the parent folder. The new
sub-folders also required renamed using the same rule. I clicked on the AddFolders
button again. But the treeview of the folders on the disk has not been rebuilt; it
still shows the list that was first displayed which is wrong in two respects

a) it shows folders that were renamed by the first operation, in terms
of the names they had before they were renamed

b) it does not show any of the new folders that I want to rename

"Add Folders" dialog caches already scanned folders and does not update them automatically. You need to explicitly call "Refresh Tree" from the right-click context menu to force the update.

I can add a "Refresh" button so it is more apparent and maybe add F5 shortcut as well.

Ah - I didn't realise there was a context menu there, sorry!

I think an explicit button would be useful; there's certainly room for it at the foot of the pane.

I've added the refresh button with F5 shortcut: ReNamerBeta.zip
