Refresh directory without requiring a re-scan after delete #4

Basic information

TDE version: R14.0.13
App version: git-339cd31bd6
Distribution: Artix Linux 6.0.5-zen1-1-zen (Arch)
Hardware: x86_64, armv7h

Description

Deleting a file/folder in a currently scanned directory will gray out the scan, disabling interactions which requires another scan to fix. Filelight should instead remove the successfully deleted file in question from view instead of requiring a new scan to update, without disabling interactions within the view.

I've attached a video recording of the issue below. You can see that tooltips no longer show up after deleting a file. It may not be clear, but I do right-click too with no avail.

Steps to reproduce

Scan a folder, any folder.
Delete any file/folder in your view.
All files in view will gray out, tooltips do not appear, and clicking them does nothing.

This is a good idea, although may be not as simple as simply deleting the entity from the graph. It will be important to make sure of what files are deleted and what not and update the graph accordingly

How does modern Filelight do it? Might be worth investigating that to see if we can recreate the method.

Not sure about what "modern" filelight does, but I guess checking its behavior and looking at backporting some of the code does not hurt :-)
If you can have a look and report on its behavior, we can then decide whether to backport some code or not.
