I think you may be misunderstanding the aim of my little edits. I am just moving a SINGLE release - not a whole source. And I want that single release to get rescanned.
I am certainly not dissing any of your excellent work.
Some of us just need a quick hack fix. It is the time taken to do full exports that make it overkill for small tweaks. Rescanning
one single folder is actually a WANTED side effect of this edit. I want KODI to re-look at all the files in the single folder I have just moved. Usually because tags have been updated on that one album. Or maybe I just updated six albums for one artist.
Isn't a full rescan going to happen after an import anyway - but now of all 25,000 tracks?
It is just not feasible to keep doing full database exports \ imports \ stand on my head of 25,000+ tracks every time I want to make a small change to just one release.
The reason for my hack of the database path for a single album is due to having a heap of badly tagged albums in one set of folders. These are being cleaned up and moved to a different location on the same hard disk. And I am doing this constantly album by album, artist by artist as I bring my whole collection up to a better standard.
So I only need that single folder rescanned - not a whole source.
I probably should get away from this thread now as we are clearly thinking about different issues here. I didn't mean to cause this confusion and we are clearly confusing the OP as he is now trying to merge both of our advice into one.
