[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 882731] [NEW] library rescan functionality should be extended with missing items scan

[Bob Bib]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 11.10 (amd64)
banshee 2.2.0-1ubuntu2

If a song is deleted from disk, this has no effect on the library:
Banshee will stay silent and simply not play that song listed in
library, so I need to manually find and remove non-existing items from
the library and re-import the music after some changes in my music
collection.

When I choose 'Rescan library' option from the menu, it has no effects
on the missing items, they still stay in the library.

Reaction on the missing items in the library should be neither silently
absent as in Banshee, nor so aggressive as in Rhythmbox which
automatically rescans the library for missing items on start-up.

I think, the optimal solution is to not enable the "missing items scan
on startup" by default, but to make a "Rescan library" button; after
library rescanning, the missing items should be moved to "Missing items"
section, where unneeded songs can be manually removed; on the next
rescan, songs from "Missing items" that have become available, should be
moved back to the library, the others should remain in "Missing items".
