Indexing (Qt) at start or restart
Nir,
The other day my friend and I had a discussion. In his opinion Qt (at start or restart) automatically performs a rescan of the shared folders. In my opinion it doesn't.
We both did some tests. We added an album to the shared folder en restarted Qt. When we browsed our own shared folder(s), in his list the change was added, in mine it wasn't.
After some new tests and also consulting user MELERIX, we came to the next conclusion:
At start Qt indexes the files in the background. As my friend only has a few shared files (about 42.000), the changes were immediately seen in his rebrowsed list. I have a lot more (about 165.000) and maybe I had to wait longer before rebrowsing my list and see the changes.
Can you give a reaction on this issue please, Thanks a lot.

Hey Peter,
Hey Peter,
Indeed, your shared folders are rescanned in the background whenever you start the client.
Cheers, Nir
Nir, if possible you could
Nir, if possible you could add a progress bar or something related ? in order the users will know what is happening in background, because currently the only thing noticeable is the HDD activity, for example few hours ago I had to check with processmon tool in order to know what thing was using my HDD constantly, and it was Soulseek indexing the files, also I noticed that this background process could take several minutes, specially if you have a lot of shared files and an antivirus in your system, and more minutes if you PC is a bit old or if the hdd is slow.
how about Diagnostics>logs
how about Diagnostics>logs>mp3 scanning? (should be called files scanning btw)
i noticed that file scanning process speed is also related to cpu, not only hdd. about a year ago i moved from older computer with atom processor ;) to the newest celeron and scanning process is no longer an issue for me (both cases HDD). if i remember correctly Nir put scanning to the second thread or something, and it already helped on slower computers.
