What is currently the recommended way of refreshing in Pantheon Files? The context menu lacks a refresh option and an icon is missing as well.

This is an issue when using Samba shares. Pantheon files is unaware of new files and folders created by a windows machine, and has no method to refresh the directory listing.

I recommend 3 ways to refresh a directory.
1: Selecting the address bar in input mode and just pressing return on the current directory.
2: Refresh button to the left or right of the breadcrumb/address bar.
3. Hotkeys F5 and Ctrl + R.

Currently a workaround is toggling views such as from grid to list view, it is slower and less reliable and a refresh should be though.

Now that Midori has headerbar support, it would be a good idea to move the refresh button to the address bar. This would make Midori more consistent with Pantheon Files.

The refresh button will remain as a button in the toolbar as the left hand side of the urlbar contains the security indicator.
