AFAIK, Windows at least caches the directory lookup so that returning to the directory (descend, return, descend, return) shouldn't cause too much pain. Are you sure the problem doesn't lie more with SlimServer's database interaction when doing a Browse Music Folder? This gets back to my suggestion that there needs to be a simple means of doing _actual_ directory browsing, without SlimServer trying to use the activity for cataloging tracks. I've yet to see SlimServer accurately portray the real directory structure of my music directory tree when using this method of browsing. There's always something missing, or completely misplaced. At times it makes me wish there was no SlimServer user interface at all and that I could just use Windows Explorer to browse and play _music_ and forget all the plugins, screen savers, RSS news feeds, and all the other crap. -- JJZolx _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
