Description local10 2022-08-05 06:45:40 UTC 
SUMMARY: Make scanning for audio files optional instead of mandatory. When elisa app opens, it immediately starts scanning the drive for audio files and there appears to be no way to turn the scanning off. Not everyone needs or wants such an aggressive sucking in of audio files into the elisa db. I have many audio files and I really don't need all of them to be put into elisa db, I'd prefer to be able to just manually select some dirs and m3u playlists and that's it.

So ideally when elisa start it should ask if the user want to scan the drive for audio files and if the user says "No", that should set some config setting that would turn of elisa drive scanning FOREVER.
