0001415: Shared Directories Auto-Rescan

Notes
(0003144) Marcell (developer) 2009-05-26 22:00	I don't think that this is a good idea. Hashing files slows down the system very much and it can get annoying if you are busy working and get interrupted by a rescan and hashing of your shared files.

(0003216) myth88 (updater) 2009-07-01 19:50	Dito! Also, example: I unpack a new release with 4 gb of size, but unpacking isn't finished yet, and aMule hashes the not finished file... ...wouldn't be such as good ;)

Files that are already hashed are not rehashed, so provided your shared directories don't gain any files, it wouldn't have any effect of performance. aMule considers files that have the same filename and size to be the same when scanning (IIRC), so if a partially extracted file is hashed accidentally, the only negative result will be that extraction will slow down temporarily. You will not end up with aMule sharing the fully extracted file with the wrong hash. I made a patch that hardcodes a rescan every 30 minutes, and have never had any trouble with it. What I'm asking for is a feature that can be adjusted or turned off by those it annoys. It doesn't even have to be on by default.
