I understand that "On 24/09/14 03:09 AM, Gilles Caulier wrote:".

I know it is not in the "new items", for one reason to much time.

I have surmised that the "Maintenance/Sync Metadata and Database"  options of
either
updating sidecars or updating the database does so without checking for
anything other than the
existence of a sidecar or an entry in the database.  That is the database
writes every entry out
to a sidecar or every sidecar is read and entered into the database "one way
only". 

I have not noted in this process any means of checking between database and
sidecars for
modified/changes to tags.

Unless I have missed something this lack of checking is why the process takes
so long. 
It is that length of time as an outcome of the current process that I see as a
problem.

One possible way to speed that up would be to time stamp, sidecars and tag
entries. 

I mention only tags for this is of critical interest to me.
