At the moment automatic incremental updates aren't working, so it won't
happen automatically.  You should manually run "Update Collection" or
"Rescan Collection" to do it.

Note: Because mtimes of directories are what's under consideration for
an incremental update, modifying a file doesn't modify the directory's
mtime.  So if you haven't also moved files around in that directory,
you'll need to either run a full rescan, or "touch" the directory.
