How to make Android Studio automatically create Vector drawable from svg files?

I am using Android Studio 2.0 and am targeting SDK verion 21 which supports vector images.

I add the .svg file from New->Vector Asset and it generates a drawable from it (.xml).

The problem is that when i change the .svg (in a vector graphics editor) then the .xml is not automatically updated inside the Studio. How to make it automatically update the generated .xml files if the .svg changes?

Regards!
