Scanlocation batchlist

Tue May 08, 2018 1:55 pm

Hi Hector,

is it possible to create an editable list that tells coollector where to scan for
new movies.

For example scan next locations :
\\Skinnap\Films\Boxes
\\Skinnap\Films\Single
F:\
J:\3D

Excluded are f.e. :
\\Skinnap\Films\check
\\Skinnap\Films\double
\\Skinnap\Films\Requested

This way it is possible to scan ALL drives, network locations, etc. in one step !
It also automaticly excludes directories and drives that should not be scanned.
The batchlist could be changed just by edeting the locations with a texteditor.

I totally agree that such an improvement would be great.

When you click on "scan your video files", there should be a list of disk locations, with the ability to add/remove locations, and the option to decide which locations to scan.

It's on my todo list. I can't give any date.

To exclude, hide the folder. You can see the folder but coollector will not detect its presence. That's what I do. :D

I think letting coollector know where to scan and where not to scan
is the best solution.

Hi Hector,

@ the moment when i like to check all drives for new movies
i have to point coollector to about 7 different locations and scan
them seperately...

Is there any progress in the batch scanning option?

Still high on my priority list, it should happen in a few versions.
