Ive read that theres a way to reread files by going to the x-.terminal. But that seems a little over the top for usability....

Any suggestions? Shall I report it as a bug. I have seen and voted for one fix 5339.
Currently the only way to force an update is to run "tracker-processes -r" in X Terminal. The real bug is the need to do this though - tracker should be picking up any new files, so if it's failing to then that's where the bug is.
