Was that true of automatically launched scans due to pref changes?

Manually launched scans can't be queued, correct? The buttons are still disabled in the various UIs while a scan is in progress, so the user can't queue up multiple scans? -- JJZolx » » Download 'Squeezebox Server 7.5.6 r35834' (http://downloads.slimdevices.com/SqueezeboxServer_v7.5.6_unreleased/), the last nightly build of SBS 7.5. » ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90833
