| Summary | 0018052: Add Rescan Dialog tweak | ||||
| Description | Add Rescan Dialog efficiency can be improved. Although Add/Rescan in MM5 is improvement over MM4 as it combines File Monitor and add rescan, but there is still space to improvements: 1. Columns in Add/Rescan can't be resized and weird when schedule is set for startup and continuous and user can't see full path 2. There is no way to manually add Path for add/rescan in main dialog screen, and adding even single folder takes multiple clicks where users needs to manually navigate to path (We should consider adding it to main screen) 3. Local Storage dialog also do not contain Manual ADD line unlike Network locations that when user add location manually it is added and focused in tree browser 4. Media Servers Also do not have manually add line even Devices and Services allow manually adding Media Server. 5. Sub dialogs Title is "Add folder" instead of Selected option eg. Local Storage/Network NOTE: Implementing point 2. will make many things simpler as user could easily add single folder quickly. | ||||

From all of the items suggested, I think that only the first needs to be fixed: 1. I don't know that there's a need to resize columns, however, we need to at least fix the table so that columns align with their headers. Peke's screen capture shows one example of the alignment issues. I've attached another that also illustrates an alignment issue with the dialog config items. 2. Now that MM supports multiple storage types there's not much we can do about the number of clicks. I don't think it's a big deal considering that: - it's a one-time task - if this is required on a one-off basis, the user can press INSERT from within the Locations > FolderToScan and the folder is added to the Location list automatically 3. Manual path entry is required for folders because browsing doesn't always work. Why is this needed for local storage? 4. Adding support for manually entered MediaServer paths doesn't seem like a good idea because: - it's more complicated and we've already addressed this complexity in the Devices and Services section We could add a shortcut in the Add Folders (Media Server) dialog to 'Devices and Services', but this functionality (scanning a Media Server) isn't that common so I wouldn't bother with this. 5. 'Add Folders' is the right heading as it appears in cases where MM asks the user to select a folder to scan. |

I agree with Rusty that probably only the alignment needs to be fixed. EDIT: I found that after Petr's reworking in 0018227 there was a small regression: Clicking a cloud storage item (e.g. 'Spotify') opened the config dialog twice. => Fixed in 2509 EDIT2: The alignment is also fixed in 2509. |
