unwanted clear and rescan after update

David J Andrew 6 supporters

Had results of a whole scan on the screen and update database scan started.

Meanwhile looked to see if newer version of bliss available. It was.

Did update but bliss then went directly to a clear and rescan

If this an intended behaviour?

Yes, all new versions initiate a clear and rescan.

Shall I change the title to "don't clear and rescan on every new version"?

Frank Köhntopp

I understand this may be necessary if tag relevant things change between versions, or database definitions change. Maybe updates could do this only if technically necessary...?

Dan Gravell

Yeah, performing a full rescan (rather than migrating the database) in the case of a change would be a good compromise.
