Scan only a list of files from command line

[nougatbyte]

Hi,

First of all: Love the software, thanks for all the effort <3

My Media is stored on a rather slow cloud storage which I mounted in my debian System.
Performance of navidrome is good but even a quick scan takes quite some time for me (big library, slow cloud).

Since most of the time I add music via scripts and know exactly which files where added, it would be great to have a way to scan only those files instead of checking the whole directory. I imagine something like

navidrome -c /path/to/conf scan --only=/mnt/cloud/track1.mp3,/mnt/cloud/track2.mp3

If this is not something you would implement, could you please point me roughly to the points in the code where I could implement it myself?

Thank you!

I'm in the process of rewriting the current scanner, which does not allow for easily accomplish what you are suggesting.

The new one will allow specifying a folder to check for changes, and if your cloud storage mount works with fsnotify, it will automatically do what you want: It will scan only changed folders
