No, it is the other way round. 'Rescan' causes a rescan to start. 'Refresh status' shows the current status of MinimServer (e.g., restarting, running, error).

Thanks very much, Simon, for your patient assistance. Yes, dumping the Naim cache did clear the problem so now I'm okay with how to keep the system up to date with any changes/additions/deletions I make.

This begs two questions:

----- how do I know when a rescan is completed?

----- how do I get into the MinimServer system to make, for example, changes to the properties? There is no MinimServer icon on the start menu of my computer, and accessing MinimServer from its icon in the Synology DSM software offers me only the status page, nothing more.

Sorry for such newbie questions ...
