Make refresh refresh (F5) re-read category info

Recently I wrote some SQL to give XnView MP some features I was missing - Fake Features: Uncategorized Search & Strict Search.

I think it'd be safe to run the script while XnView MP is running - as I've seen in other threads multiple people running XnView MP against the same database, even via windows file sharing, is expected to work.

However I haven't been able to figure out how to get XnView MP to refresh the categories it displays without restarting it. It would be nice if Refresh (F5) would do this; or if you could share how to make this happen via SQL that'd be great. At one point I got it to refresh while playing with triggers - I think an SQL update caused a refresh - but I didn't keep notes and can't get it to happen again now.
