Just don't forget that there might be nice to be able to integrate
third party scanners to enhance the standard scanner.
As you already know, currently Custom Scan and other similar plugins
which is triggered by the "rescan done" event makes 7.6 pretty unusable
with the 7.6 auto scanning enabled. The reason is that the third party
plugins doesn't get any information about what track that have been
rescanned, the event just says that a scan operation has finished, so
even if only a single track is rescanned, Custom Scan have to rescan
the complete 100 000 track library. But you already know about this
since we have discussed the possibility for more advanced plugin hooks
via mail earlier.
I could of course do as usual and implement a plugin specific solution
and start setting up file system change notifications in the plugin but
preferably I'd like to avoid doing that, would be a lot easier and
better for the user if there was a way to hook into the standard
scanner as described in enhancement #6023.
