Sentry Crash Report:

Description Thomas Pfeiffer 2013-03-05 10:29:43 UTC 
When I copy files from a USB stick to the device, they do not show up anywhere (Files, Add Items) until after I reboot the device.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attach a USB device
2. Copy some files from it to your device's disk
3. Switch back to the device's disk
4. Choose the corresponding file category
4b. Open the Add Items dialog
5. Wait
6. Reboot
7. Open Files again
Actual Results:  
New files are not shown until reboot

Expected Results:  
Files should be shown after a short indexing delay

File indexing is not triggered by newly added files. De- and reactivating the indexer from Desktop Search settings does trigger indexing, though.

consider "old" files

when a file that has a very old modification time is copied in an indexed folder, checking the modification time isn't enough.
we have to check the modification time of the folder *and* of the file, then index the file if any of them is recent.
in this case it catches both the cases an already existing file has been modified or the case when an "old" file gets copied there (in that case is the directory modification time that catches it)
