Vista: Server Settings: Rescan does not take new folders
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:12:53 UTC
System Info: Dell Optiplex GX620, Vista SP0 ENU Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a clean ghost of Vista SP0 ENU, install SlimServer 7.0a1 -- build of 2007-06-18. 2. After the isntallation, start the Web interface. 3. Go to Server Settings. 4. Put in a new folder for music folder and PlayList. 5. Click "Rescan". 6. Notice the text fields for both PlayList and music folder are cnaged back to the original value.
Created attachment 2050 [details] Save path settings before launching the rescan I wonder whether this ever worked since the prefs change?
Maybe I'm missing something, but should this work? I was under the impression the rescan button only rescans, if you're trying to change preferences like the music or playlist folder, you'll need to hit the save settings button. With build 12301 7.0 on Vista I'm having no trouble seeing the Save Settings button along the bottom.
It's very confusing if you need to hit two buttons to launch one single action (in the user's point of view). When I hit Rescan after I've changed the path value, I really expect it to scan the new location.
So the rescan button actually saves changes to playlist/music folder and rescans. I understand what you're describing, makes sense to me. Thanks for clarifying Michael.
Ross - shall I commit that patch?
Patch works, thanks KDF and Michael. Good to commit.
Change 12310
