File Scanner Improvements II

(1/6) > >>

CAD:
Hi,

When scanning movies in from Hard drive, the "media label" is automatically populated with the volume of the hard drive.
I want to use the volume label as a reference to which hard drive a movie is on.
eg. avatar is on hard drive with volume label - movie001, the matrix is on hard drive with volume label - movie002 etc.

Would it be possible to have "scan folders for new movies/changed paths", also update the "Media Label" field with the Volume as part of the change path scan?

nostra:
Yes, it sounds logical.

CAD:
Cool,

I'll add it to your TODO list  ;D

In a situation where a changed path is detected, it's possible the file is not the same as the original. For example, it may be one of a better quality replacing the original. So maybe the improvement should be a processing option to rescan files where the path has changed. That would ensure all the file information is correct. It would have to be optional, as the scanner is also used to update paths when entire folders or collections are moved.

nostra:
So what exactly are you suggesting, Rick? I think the file Scanner already does what you describe and it will also update the media label in future.
