Rescanning Estimate

[paultaylor]

I am in process of adding an option to SongKong to allow the user to rescan MinimServer after FixSongs task has completed so its picks up modified metadata. I have it working using the webapi HttpPost method.

I make it optional tickbox because may not want to do it every time time due to the time taken to rescan. But I notice when rescan it is actually very quick even on large libraries if only a few files were modified, so am I correct in thinking MinimServer only rescans those song files that have been modified (via checking the file modifiedDate), and this reading of file contents takes the majority of the time, not the browsing of folder structure to identify music files ?

Then it would be nice if I could inform user of progress and completion of rescan. I can use the about command to identify when rescan has completed. However I can only poll this to find out when completed, and I have no idea how long the rescan would take. Would be very useful if MinimServer could estimate how long task will take, and allow application to query minimserver to see progress (perhaps as percentage).
