sidebar after changes to date metadata in the DB.<br>
A test here shows if a preview was called up via the date view and e.g. the <br>
metadata is read in again (or a scanning process is still running in the <br>
background) then the preview actually closes after 30 seconds. Of course we <br>
will fix that.<br>
Can you confirm that when the issue occurs the date view in the left sidebar is <br>
used?<br>
