new media folder
Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2015 9:53 pm
1) gets filled up with old stuff during a manual scan
2) doesn't get cleared when playing "mark all as watched".
it should not be populated by content found during a manual scan in Navigation/share settings. it's all old stuff already present on the system at the time of the scan, so by definition it is not "new". it's old stuff.
we all know manual scan is a performance enhancing feature for slow machines, so basically it's just a way to build our browsing tree for later.
very helpfull for slow machines and also to hide empty folders if the option is checked.
anything found after the manual scan finishes can be set as new, just not during the scan.
but as it is now it just fills up the new media folder with old stuff. then the "mark all as watched" doesn't clear anything, all the folders are still there in new media. so i may have like over 300-400 folders to clear out by hand one by one from the new media folder.
so instead of filling up that folder with stuff already on the network and the mark all as watched not working right, let's just not add the old stuff to new media.
thanks.
