Need a button for "Postpone library re-scan"

Red Townsend 1 supporters

The "Set Genre to ..." button function on the Album page is USELESS to me ... here's why.

Upon clicking that button, Bliss immediately
- clears the "compliant" flag for all albums
- starts a compliance rescan
- no additional genre suggestions are available.

Why is this a problem? Because a library scan takes hours
This means I can use the button once, but because the compliance flag of the next albug is cleared, its "Set Genre to ..." button is no longer available. I have to wait for the scan to complete before that button is available on the next non-compliant album.

Proposed solution:
Give the user control if a re-scan is triggered after clicking the "Set Genre to ..." button.
A button "Postpone library re-scan" would do the trick. Make it toggle to "Resume library scanning"

Thank ou.

This sounds like a bug - only the album on which "Set genre to" should be rescanned. I'll check this later.

I tested this and after clicking a "Set to" response, only the album in question rescanned.

A few thoughts that might help us work out what is wrong:

- Make sure you're using the latest version - there was a fix for rescanning albums there
- Did you click it when an ongoing library-wide rescan was ongoing?
- Maybe it was the "Allow ..." fix? That definitely does induce a library-wide rescan

It's probably best if you can send us a debug archive - "Help" > "Download debug archive" to support@blisshq.com . Tell us, if you can remember, which album you clicked the "Set to" fix on.
