So, to be clear, you did not re-included or re-added any of the previously added folders, right?

About all your folders been created first and then your strms, that is exactly how the export works.
What the addon does first is to get the list of files and folders (of the folders been exported). If it is a folder, then a folder will be created. If it's a exportable file or movie, it will create a .strm file.
Now, if you have all your movies in separated folders, those movies files are not detected on this run. They are not part of the current folder.
Once all files and folders are created, it will go deep on each folder to repeat the same process: get all files and folders, if there is a folder, create a folder, if there is a exportable file, create a .strm file, and so on.

Okay, that would be consistent with the behaviors then. I am not touching my local db on my PC created by your add-on. I am just letting the add-on add, delete, rename etc... I learned that lesson earlier when you advised me on this.

All I am doing is manipulating the TV Show series folders on my google drive cloud storage. For the most part all is working well and accurate except it has failed on 2 series in that it created the series folder but no seasons and no strms. Pulling both from google drive the add-on updated and deleted the local folders. Adding both again resulted in one being fully successful and the other failing again.

Achieved success by manually exporting the failing series.

I will continue to work my way through all of my series from A-Z in a controlled manner so I can spot failures and fix them.
