I do the MinimServer rescan from the Status tab in MinimServer on my QNAP NAS.
I have just tried deleting some albums that had incorrect metadata. I deleted the albums and rescanned and everything was as it was before the deletions in terms of Recently Added folders and contents. I then uploaded the 3 corrected albums and rescanned. This time the Added-dates.txt file was generated with the correct file information and the Recently Added folders were all Ok.
So everything seems ok. When I next add new albums I will see what happens and copy the added-dates.txt file if anything goes wrong.
As always thanks for your speedy responses.
Just added a new album and everything seems to be working ok now. Added-dates.txt and Added-files.txt have current date and time and contain the correct information.
Thanks for your support

I might having a similar issue. I recently loaded a whole bunch of albums into my library, which contained more than 300 tracks. So today I activated the option recentAdded=1000. Unfortunately, albums that I imported a long time ago are now appearing. The list is now pretty messed up.
Many thanks in advance.

This could happen depending on the order you did things. If you added the albums with the setting still at 300, only the last 300 files added would be recorded.
If you then increase the setting to 1000, positions 301 to 1000 should be filled with other files in your library with the most recent "last modified" dates (not taking into account when these files were added). These extra 700 files would appear in the added-files.txt file but not in the added-dates.txt file.
Does this fit with what you are seeing?

I'd say the last batch of about 20 discs has the right order, followed by another 12 discs I added years ago and another disc I imported last week.

The ordering of files that MininServer has not detected as being added to your library because of the 300 files limit should be based on the "last modification" dates of these files. If you have changed tagging or embedded artwork in these files, they will have a "last modification" date that is more recent than the date they were added to your library.
You can check this by looking at the added-dates.txt and added-files.txt files in the "recent" folder (see the recent folder section). The added-dates.txt file contains the most recent files that MinimServer has detected as added, together with the dates they were added. The added-files.txt file contains all files from the added-dates.txt file and also the most recently modified files that MinimServer has not detected as added, together with the dates they were last modified.
RE: Recently Added folders - strange contents! - Frodo - 21-05-2024 15:12
Ok, then the mechanism is clear. I have an example from the file added-files.txt:
2024-05-17 11:54:49.227 /mnt/disk1/share/C/Crosby Stills & Nash/Crosby, Stills & Nash/01 Suite Judy Blue Eyes.flac
2024-05-17 11:54:49.828 /mnt/disk1/share/C/Crosby Stills & Nash/CSN/01 - Shadow Captain.flac
CSN was the last album imported, so #2 appears correctly here. Crosby Stills & Nash is now shown as the second most recently imported album, but this is only because this album was modified after the maximum tracks were increased to 1000 and the updates have now also become relevant for the new 700 tracks. Has this been summarised correctly?
Thanks a lot Simon

Yes, exactly so.
If you wish, you can edit the added-dates.txt file (not the added-files.txt file) to produce an order closer to the times the other albums were added. If you do this, don't go over the 1000 files limit.
