Support incremental indexing

[hbraunDSP]

Suppose I have a BIDSLayout. I then do some processing and generate new files, which I'd like to add back into the layout so later steps know they are there. Is there a way to do this other than copying files to the proper place and re-initializing a new BIDSLayout?

No, no way to do this at the moment, sorry. In principle, some of the indexing could be refactored to update incrementally, but given that indexing only needs to be done once (as you can then save the DB to file), and incremental indexing would likely require some work, this isn't a high priority. Will leave it open but mark as low priority.

We have the same issue and are also interested in incremental indexing -- have there been any updates on adding this feature?

No.
