Bug Description

When texting someone on Telegram or messaging-app, I wanted to attach a photo from gallery-app, but when content hub switched to gallery-app, recently taken pictures (taken via camera-app, or directly imported into the pictures folder) were not displaying there.

I have seen this happening twice, but I couldn't figure out deterministic ways to reproduce the problem. Here is what I have done:

- With gallery-app closed, take some pictures with camera-app, or throw some image files in the pictures directory.
- Open messaging-app/telegram-app or any app that allows you to attach pictures
- Trigger content hub to attach a picture from gallery-app

Expected behavior:
- All the new pictures are displayed in the events view

Actual behavior (when reproducing the problem):
- Some (if not all) of the new pictures are missing from the Events view.

it seems that the gallery only index the new files if you open it in normal mode...
