Partly due to the lack integration with a file-change monitoring API. Currently xgsch2pcb looks to see if anything needs updating when you wave the mouse over it. The other part to this, is that we need a more graceful way of introducing new "forward annotation" into PCB without interrupting the users work. I'd long planned a kind of "rat-parts" pane where new items due to be placed on the board can sit - rather than gsch2pcb or xgsch2pcb dumping them at the origin for you to sort out manually. This could perhaps become a tab in the PCB library window, e.g. "To be placed"... and they would list by refdes, for example.
