Bug Description

There seems to be no way to refresh the pictures in gallery.

Reproduction:
- open gallery
- switch to Photos view
=> you see your pictures, say you have five
- open gimp
- open one of the five pictures
- edit it (or not)
- export as -> save as sixth picture
- switch back to gallery
=> you still see five pictures
- swipe down
=> nothing happens, no refresh, you still see five pictures
- look through the menu items
=> no way to refresh
- close gallery, by swiping from right, then swipe gallery down
- open gallery again
=> you see six pictures

Not very convenient or intuitive.

The app is monitoring the folders in the file system and no action should be required from the user. For some reason a file saved in this way is not detected although the log indicates the app detected some activity. Try to reproduce on a desktop session.
