It is kind of stupid, but I don't think it would make any difference. You only really need to run a new & changed scan for a newly added directory, so you could still use the existing library during the scan. But a new & changed scan for a lot of new media is slower than running a clear & rescan, so you're usually better off doing a full scan when you've added any new directories. As long as LMS cleanly kills any ongoing scan each time you add a directory and it launches a new one, then it makes very little difference vs adding more than one directory and then running the scan. > We need some kind of window where we can add/delete directories with the > appropriate attributes and after we are finished then start a scan. I agree that the user interface could probably be improved in the web ui, but what's there now does work. > And we need the possibility to tell the scanner it should not scan the > whole thing every time.

The 'clear everything' part means clear the entire library and cache. And when you run a new & changed scan, scanning directories where nothing has changed is very fast on most platforms, so I'm not sure there's much need for this. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90638 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
