Well, that's a major problem, and I'm somewhat surprised that it's only coming
up now. Inaccurate numbers are inaccurate numbers. The entire concept of the
overview page seems to be unfixably broken, at best pointless and at worst
harmful (for giving you wrong numbers, causing trust in the app to be lost).

Your proposal to replace it with buttons is acceptable to me. Maybe add a third
button, so we have three options on the overview when you launch the app:

[Scan entire system]
[Scan home holder]
[Scan specific folder...]

And then we can hide the [Scan entire system] button if the app detects that it
can't see / or something.
