startupScan - setting "full"

[simoncn]

The current approach was introduced some years ago because some users were leaving 'full' enabled permanently after using it once and not realising it was making every rescan much slower.

With startupScan set to 'true', MinimServer rescans each file whose modification date or file size has changed. If you are not seeing this, it is likely that you have configured your tagging program to not change the modification date when updating the file.

You could use the mscript command (see this page) to run a script that sets the startupScan property to 'full' and then does a rescan. You could schedule this script to run whenever you wish: once a month, every night, etc.
