[KimDaBa] Rescan for images proposal

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

How many images do you have, since this takes so long time?

Whenever I get new images in, I choose rescan, and am done in a few secs. This 
is something I do like once a week or so.

Could you please elaborate on your workflow? (In other words, why do you need 
to do that so often?)

Thanks
jesper.

|
| 2001/
|     /010515_SeaTrip
| 2002/
|     /020712_SeaTrip2002
|     /020712_Mountain
| 2005/
|     /050811_Holidays
|     /050902_Friends
|     /051001_NewDir
|
| When I add the new subdir 051001_NewDir in 2005 dir I should not need to
| rescan all the tree, I would like to rescan 2005 subtree only.
|
| Thanks for you opinions,
