Bob, The similar query could have been me, and i've still not done what you suggested I will try this afternoon when the backup jobs have finished.
a few questions for you.
I was thinking about possiblly deleting the library and re-createing it, but can you confirm If I do that, and re add the diretctorys back to the library, does it retain the files that were previously on it, and if so do you just rescan? or do i lose the information that was saved.
your writing and reading the mmdb - i don't understand who it clears it. Isn't it the wrong way around, or does writing create a file which it thinks its current and then reading it overwites whats currently in the database?
Also any idea how long that process takes? we talking hours - minutes?
