I think it works on files, so I'd rather keep it in the "File" menu 
(note that "Edit" ATM contains primarily commands that act on the 
current window, not on the file system ("Preferences..." is the only 
exception here in that it brings up a dialog that configures the whole 
application (and, depending on the installation, also modified a file 
storing said preferences)).

However, why not assign a shortcut? That strikes me as the quickest 
solution, especially if you use this command often (and use keyboard 
input for "hitting OK", anyway). See the manual for a description how to 
assign custom shortcuts.
