Bug Description

Removed (rm) and re-created (mkdir) a directory on the command line while Thunar was displaying one of its subdirectories. When the directory was removed Thunar switched to displaying the parent directory. When creating it again it showed up as a file of type "(null)", showing its full path as its name. Right-clicking and selecting Properties triggered a crash.

Just had this again in 1.2.3. Managed to prevent the crash by deleting and recreating the directory from within Thunar. Any other method caused it to still show up as a file. If I renamed the file on the command line, it would appear as a directory, then creating a new directory with the same name as before, it again appeared as a file. Looks like Thunar has some cache of information about files it's seen, and creating the directory from within Thunar got it to remove/update the invalid entry.
