Library Scanning Behaviour in cMP Program...

Hi cics

Thanks for cMP 1.2... nice changes to the UI. I have a request concerning the library scanning behaviour: is it possible to omit the initial scan when cMP launches - and save that function for the REFRESH button.

My reason is this - when I launch cMP in XP-mode, it's only to switch over to cMP-mode (and reboot), but I've no way to bypass the lengthy time it takes to scan my library first. Only then can I get to the Settings panel (and the "start cMP" button). If the scanning occurred only in response to the REFRESH button, it would save me a frustrating five minutes every time I want to enjoy HQ listening.

My cMP environment is software-only (until Santa drops some hardware down the chimney !). It lives on a dedicated primary C:\ partition (which is obviously hidden during times of "other" computing).

To get to cMP, I have to flip the HIDE|UNHIDE switches on the MBR (thanks gdisk !), reboot - and up comes cMP-Land in XP-mode. Launch cMP program and wait 90 seconds while it scans the HD. Then get into Settings to switch to cMP-mode. Reboot. Wait another 90 seconds before I get control - and maybe wish to point to different folders for this listening session. Hit REFRESH button to scan new folders. Select music and Enjoy !

Of course, it's just about as onerous getting back to the other C:\ partition, since I need to be in XP-mode to execute the gdisk script that does the HIDE|UNHIDE switch prior to rebooting.

Not much else to say, except I hope this request is reasonable, doesn't go against some philosophy of which I'm unaware, and maybe will be included in the next cMP update.

Thanks for considering it...
Cheers,
Grant
