MC causing external drive to run

(1/4) > >>

Abbra Cadabra:
When I open MC, I hear my external music drive spin-up and run as if being scanned.

If I am not asking MC to play a file on that drive (or looking in the Explorer node of MC's tree), why is MC accessing the drive rather than just reading the library database?

I prefer the drive remain asleep until actually accessed for a file or another such operation.

So is this normal and intended, or a 'bug'?

Awesome Donkey:
Auto-import enabled, perhaps?

Nope, just double-checked and it is still set to my initial settings of NO Auto-Import.
thanks for the help.

lepa:
There seems to be some triggers for filesystem when from user point only library browsing should be enough.

One thing you can do yourself is to remove file existence check from bottom toolbar if you already haven't. Maybe you could even create expression to check only local files

I do not understand what to do here, but I do appreciate your input.

Oh, all my files reside on the removable hard drive, if that makes a difference.
