Could you manually add as following.

First install xdotool

sudo apt-get install xdotool

Then run following command

sudo gedit /usr/share/nemo/actions/nemo-refresh.nemo_action

And paste following lines to nemo-refresh.nemo_action and save it.

[Nemo Action]

Name=Refresh

Comment=Nemo Refresh

Exec=xdotool key ctrl+r

Selection=None

Extensions=any;

Icon-Name=view-refresh

Name[tr]=Tazele

Finally refresh Nemo file manager

nemo -q nemo -n &

thank you anyway. we can find refresh button in the nemo's menu bar, but not on the desktop. please consider ship it by default.

@tomoe-musashi Why you need refresh? If you create in desktop location a file (from Nemo's window) it appears on desktop, so where is the problem?

Imho long menu on rightclicked desktop is pretty ugly

F5 still works on the desktop to refresh
