[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 636409] Re: banshee rescans external harddrives on startup (and hangs)

[T Kortehisto]

No, I don't have Library Watcher enabled. This seems to happen
regardless of that. However, I have noticed that once the scan
succesfully finishes on a drive it will not scan that drive again (or at
least not every time I start banshee).  Because of problems with Banshee
I have started to use Guyaydeque, which I quite like.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: banshee

In ubuntu 10.10 beta (64bit) banshee 1.7.5. after program iniation starts rescanning all my (available) external hard drives for music files and I cannot stop the scan. Sometimes the scan finishes (very rare), other times Banshee hangs or even crashes. I have no wish for this type of behaviour even when I would like Banshee to scan my /home/user/Music folder. The scanning also uses a lot of CPU (120-170 %) and RAM - or at least I assume that is the culprit.
