Any chance of seeing the return of fully incremental scanning? You'd have to do some kind of wrapup at the end of scanning each folder (operating on the assumption that folders are roughly equivalent to albums). After each folder, do an album wrapup, including finding artwork and compilation determination. It would make the library much more usable as each album is scanned. With a minimal amount of logic, this could also be optimized. For instance, if you've just found and cataloged a new album, there's no need to run the cleanups of stale data. Overall, scanning would take a little longer because you're executing some extra queries at the end of each folder (or even track, if you want to get that incremental), so maybe it would need to be a scanning option. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70142 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
