enable/disable auto reload
Currently, panel content is inevitably reloaded after every operation. Whilst this behaviour may be convenient, there are various scenarios where it turns really painful, e. g.
- local directories with many files (hundreds or thousands)
- any listings with thumbnails
- any search results (being recalculated again and again)
- remote directory listings over slow/expensive connections, especially when there are many files
As a user who frequently works with such cases or, even worse, combinations of them, I would greatly appreciate if auto reloading was optional.
There is already a manual "reload" button available in the toolbar settings. With the suggested change, it could actually do something useful.

A search should never be automatically repeated; I suggest treating that separately
