Stuart,
i recently tested your AutoRescan Plugin. For new/modified files it
works wonderful! Would it be (even theoretically) possible to remove
files from the SC-Database this way?
The server.log indicates the plugin knows what happened (first a new
file has been copied to .../Incoming, a few minutes later i removed it
again)
Code:
--------------------
[08-04-25 13:49:14.0938] Plugins::AutoRescan::Plugin::watchCallback (289)
Directory detected as modified by file modification: /.../Incoming
[08-04-25 13:49:19.1166] Plugins::AutoRescan::Plugin::inotifyPoller (232)
Triggering RESCAN of folder: /.../Incoming
...
[08-04-25 13:55:07.8648] Plugins::AutoRescan::Plugin::watchCallback (309)
Directory detected as modified by move out: /.../Incoming
[08-04-25 13:55:12.8877] Plugins::AutoRescan::Plugin::inotifyPoller (232)
Triggering RESCAN of folder: /.../Incoming
--------------------
I know the offical way to remove files from the DB is a wipe & scan
procedure.
kind regards,
Markus
