Scan favorite folders

[deazo]

 Hi all,

 I know it is possible in PVD to save a path to scan everytime PVD is started, but this is not a solution in my case because my movie folders are in different hard drives of a network computer. Also scanning them takes time and ressources so I really don't want to do this everytime PVD starts.

 I want however to scan them everytime I add movie files to that network computer. And the problem is that going through the "select directory or files" to select these hard drives far away in my network takes a long time. I have to select them one by one, and PVD scans them every time I tick the box next to them. The whole process of selecting them before the actual scan is about 6 minutes if I am fast.

 Hence my idea: Could there be a way in pvd to have these hard drives selected by default in a menu so that I only have to press a button to scan them whenever I need to do so?

 Thanks for listening.

It already works that way for local drives. Are you saying the configuration will not save network drives?

 I want to scan only when I choose to scan, not everytime pvd opens.
 Actually I feel stupid, I did not realize that I could save the folders, but not tick the box that says "scan everytime pvd starts".
 
 Still, the only way to scan when I want, is to tick the box, close pvd, open pvd (do the scan and everyting) then untick the box before closing pvd again.

 A "scan favorites folders now" button would solve this workaround.

 EDIT: By playing with it I just realize that it DOES it!
         I must have waisted so much time going through the ticking process...

Now there's something for the wish list. PVD should tell us when we're doing something the hard way!

He should be but seems he was not there in this time.
