Description Ian Pallfreeman 2011-08-28 05:56:30 UTC

When SBS (r33223) is rescanning an "i" in a circle appears at the bottom of the home page with a link saying "Rescanning Music Library... Scanning new files (N of M)". This link disappears when SBS has finished rescanning.

If this link is clicked, it takes me to a page which shows just the scanner info, with a heading "This page shows the progress of each phase of the scanning process". To my jaundiced and cynical eyes, this looks like a prototype written in the 1990s which was supposed to be reworked before release. 

And it duplicates the scanner info on the Information page in Settings. 

Also, Information is not a Setting.

So: how about having the circled "i" always at the bottom of the home page? When SBS isn't rescanning the associated text would be "Information", and clicking on it at any time takes you straight to the Information page, otherwise only reachable through Settings. And drop the ugly, duplicate scanner info page.
