I made this simple extension for ex-Windows users who addicted to 'Refresh' button on the desktop and in the Explorer file manager. It is a port of 'nautilus-refresh' extension for Nautilus created by Dr. Amr Osman. It simply adds an item in Caja context menu that reloads the current opened folder. The point is that it is in the context menu, not the button on toolbar or a shortcut. Some of ex-Windows users are strange, they like to right-click on the desktop and press
Refreshfrom time to time:)The extension depends on
xautomationpackage. It simulates pressing F5 button by executing a commandxte 'keydown F5' 'keyup F5'.It looks like a hack, but I have not found a better way to perform a reload. Seems that
Cajaandwindowobjects don't have a method for this action. Dr. Amr Osman's extension had been simaluting Ctrl+R key combination. If you point me to the more convenient way to make a reload, I fix it.I'd be happy if you include this extension in Caja disabled by default, so addicted people like me could easily enable it :)
Tested in MATE 1.14.1 GTK3, Ubuntu MATE 16.10 daily build.
