I was going to suggest this as well, but since the "Rescan every ..."

figured the wiseass pony crack would soon follow.

I thought about that as well (the fact that there's already a Rescan plug-in that does the "Rescan every XXX minutes" thing), but it's always seemed to me that the UI for database maintenance should be simplified and made more coherent.


There's "Wipe Cache", which we're told isn't necessary, except it is if you want to get rid of phantom (deleted) tracks -- that's off on a different web page than "Rescan"; and the Rescan plug-in is on yet another web page. (And one could argue that it shouldn't even be a plug-in in the first place, since it provides fairly basic functionality.)

So there are three different pages that all relate in some way to database maintenance -- which is why I figured it was worth raising the issue of making the database maintenance UI more coherent. And yes, I was willing to risk any and all wiseass pony cracks... ;-)

(As a start: the UI should stop referring to the database as a "cache" and start referring to it as a database. I think someone else already suggested that. Perhaps "Delete and Rebuild Database" instead of "Wipe Cache"?)
