I wasn't aware of the Ctrl+T command for refreshing files; I’d like to thank @poster for sharing this very handy keyboard shortcut.

It is very useful because, unlike the "Refresh file view" icon—which requires you to click on the file(s) again—this shortcut allows you to maintain your current selection. I think it would be quick and convenient to have an icon for this command on the Toolbar...

It’s the **File \> Read Tag** action, so you can already add it to the toolbar.

Wow, that's great—a big thank you to @Florian for already including the CTRL+T — Read Tag command in the programmable Toolbar 😊 👍

Hi everyone, for those interested in adding "File / Read Tag" (Ctrl+T) to the custom Toolbar, you’ll notice there is no icon assigned to this command...

I created a "READ TAG" icon; I admit it’s not the prettiest icon, but it is very useful. If you’re interested in having it, you can download it in a ZIP file:

Here is the icon I created...
