Suggestion: SD rescan after copying files from LAN

Mikefield · Post by *Mikefield » 2013-08-09, 20:57 UTC

I use the LAN plugin very often to copy files from LAN Shares to the SD Card of the Android device. But the internal mp3 player does not recognise the new files uon the SD card ntil an extra utility "SD rescan" is used. Is it possible to implement the rescan within Total Commander for Android?

I will consider it. Unfortunately a rescan is a very costly operation (time consuming, eating CPU and battery).

Thanks for your reply. Could it be added as an internal command that it can be triggered manually over a button?

Yes it could, I will add it to my wish list.

Many thanks for adding the "New internal command Refresh". Could you please adding a short message box when the button was activated? Here on my Galaxy S4, it seems nothing is happened, but the new files were visible in the MP3 player.

Good idea, I will show a "Toast" message.
