Thunar Refresh View on Custom Action

I've made a custom action to set a particular emblem on highlighted files. However, whenever I run it, I have to also press Ctrl+R to refresh the view. Is there any way I could force that to happen automatically in the custom action?

Re: Thunar Refresh View on Custom Action

You can use:

xdotool key F5

...in the custom action as well to automate the refresh. xdotool must be installed.

So something like (guessing):

gio set %f metadata......emblem && xdotool key F5
