[Bug 43578] monitor changes in library bug

[jens_acamedia]

Public bug reported:

Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox

i have ~/Music as my library and monitor for new files checked.

but my main library is on a usb-drive. why does this have to be checked
every startup (leads to 20 seconds of unresponsive program every
startup)

the logic is probably that stuff is added from here and there and the
user should not be forced to clean it all up manually when these files
are deleted or moved.

but with a decent size library +80gb startup becomes too slow!

i think the best solution is to keep library_location and the option to
monitor this. but to add a check box for whether "manually added" music
should be monitored. this would solve the overhead for somebody like me
whose music collection rarely alters.

if one day it does change i can tick the "monitor manually added music"
and wait for the database to update...
