The upshot is that genpuid quickly ascertained there was nothing to do but deal with the added album, did its analysis and updated the cache/ database. Pointing my browser to localhost:10002 and telling it to Refresh Songs demonstrated that the new tracks had been appended. Will run the 2nd part of the experiment shortly - have SC do a "look for changes" scan and see whether it still does a full blown rescan or not. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48270 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
