yes, same as yesterday. File Station has a folder that shows my recent uploads so I have a record of the music files I have uploaded over the last 49 days. They are not the ones that show up in the Minim Server recent added folders
RE: Recently Added folders - strange contents! - RobA - 25-04-2024 09:34
Just to be clear - I need to delete the added-dates.txt file then rescan?
I don't have a backup of the mininserver folders on the NAS only the music files.

I have looked at your added-dates.txt file. Something has gone wrong with a recent rescan and this has filled this file with incorrect date/time information. This could happen if your mcache file was accidentally deleted. It could also happen if you renamed your contentDir folder because the name of the mcache file needs to match the name of the contentDir folder.
Unless you have a recent backup of the added-dates.txt file, you need to delete the added-dates.txt file and do another rescan. This will reset your "last added" dates to match the timestamps of the files. These dates might not be the exact dates that the files were added to your library but they should be fairly close.

OK, do I need to delete the added-files.txt as well?
RE: Recently Added folders - strange contents! - simoncn - 25-04-2024 09:42
You don't need to delete the added-files.txt file,. This file is recreated on every rescan from information in the added-dates.txt file and the timestamps of the files. For more information on how this works, see this section.

Just tried to delete added-dates.txt in file station. This failed to delete (tried permanent delete and to recycle bin).
On rescan date & time of delete added-dates.txt stays the same but date & time of delete added-files.txt is updated to rescan time.

I'm signed in as ADMIN when I try to delete added-dates.txt.

This file might be in use by MinimServer. Stop MinimServer, then delete the file, then restart MinimServer.

I tried deleting added-dates.txt on my QNAP HS-264 while MinimServer was running. The delete was successful with no permission problems.
