It might have been that you chose "Reindex ALL Maps" instead of "Add
New Maps" from the Map->Configure menu, or removed the map_index.sys
file and reindex maps on startup was enabled?

If you add a new map somewhere under the map directory but the
timestamp on the map file itself is OLDER than your
~/.xastir/config/map_index.sys file, then Xastir will skip indexing
that map unless you choose the "Reindex ALL Maps".  Not much we can
do about that one.  We wanted a way to quickly index only the newly
added maps, and timestamps is about the only way we can do that.  If
the timestamps aren't newer, we skip it.
