Hello,

I read all of this thread ...
There is any solution to refresh (auto scan) Pictures folder/library ?
Is it too hard to support this feature ?

Thank you

As discussed before there's no such thing as picture library and thus nothing to update or scan. It always reflect filesystem. "Reloading slideshow" or whatever it is that you're really asking for is something different.

I was the one who asked about pictures before. Like you say, pictures don't have a library but watchdog (read: polling / systemevents) could be used to reload slideshows and refresh picture listings as new pictures are added.

Looking at the use case this way, I understand people think Watchdog is the tool to do this.

Oh, well. Sorry but I don't see this is a use case for watchdog like you though. Watchdog is for updating library, you ask me to "reload slideshows and refresh picture listings". (Btw. are you sure that's even possible to do in the xbmc api?). The problem is: what will be the next people will want to do on certain file system events? Won't this soon turn into a generic 'trigger action x on event y' script? Currently this addon is specifically designed to do library updates, which is not trivial, so most of the code specifically deals with that. Getting the file system events is the easy part and can surely be easily adopted to another addon by a another developer.
