SUMMARY

Elisa has a "Music Search Configuration" functionality which allows the user to add paths where the music is located. Unfortunately for me, though, Elisa - at random - decides to look through the entire filesystem (all the folders and hard disk / solid state drives) to find other pieces of media. I have a lot of audio files that I don't need in my music player (since they're basically junk that I recovered from an external HDD), but Elisa goes ahead and adds them to the list anyways. The tracks do not save and disappear after a relaunch of the application, but Elisa does a search every time after some music has been played. I haven't been able to pinpoint when exactly it decides to start the search.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch an app with two "Music Search Configuration" paths (that was the case for me).
2. Start up some music.
3. After a bit, Elisa will start the process of importing tracks from the paths that were not defined in "Music Search Configuration".

OBSERVED RESULT

Elisa starts to import tracks from undefined paths.

EXPECTED RESULT

Not searching for the tracks from undefined paths.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Perhaps this would be fixed by adding a switch to the "Music Search Configuration" which would restrict the app to ONLY using the predefined paths? Just saying.

Should be fixed by removing the 'fast' indexer.
