Steps to reproduce

1. Create a folder in a Group Folder.
2. Rename, delete or move the folder.
3. A "loading" icon appear on the folder. The icon won't disappear unless the page is refreshed.

Expected behaviour

The modification to the folder should be applied almost immediately, without requiring a page reload. In other words, it should behave just like personal folders, outside of Group Folders.

Actual behaviour

A "loading" icon appear on the folder. The icon won't disappear unless the page is refreshed.

The modification are applied immediately to the file system, but the UI feels broken, since it shows a loading icon which doesn't go away.

If the group folder have several folders, it will take more time for the UI to reflect the changes: the user will have to click the "refresh" button several times.

The time it takes for the UI to reflect the changes is the same as the time it takes for the "occ groupfolders:scan" command to complete, which makes me believe Group Folders is running that command in the backend.

There is a direct correlation between the number of folders inside the Group Folder and the time it takes to run the scan. The number of files or the size of the files seems to be irrelevant. For a Group Folder containing about 5000 folders, the scan takes about 2 minutes to complete. This mean a user modifying a folder in that Group Folder will have to click the refresh button for 2 minutes before the changes are sync in the user interface.
