Backup Library - "thumbnails ONLY" ??
« on: February 11, 2023, 09:08:06 am »

Great that you added Thumbnails to the Library Backups, except for a minor issue.

If I include Thumbs in my backup, it takes a long time and MC is frozen and crash-able while this is processing. Also, unless I include Thumbs every time, I do not know which backups include thumbs PLUS that may force me to use an outdated backup if I wish to retrieve thumbs.

How about, instead, you include a "Backup Thumbnails (only)" which could then be reincorporated into the library without affecting the music file portion? Is this possible?

With over 250,000 files over close to 10TB of drive space rebuilding the library or even just the thumbnails takes considerable time and unnecessary use of electrical energy. Once they have been generated it should not be necessary to repeat the process.
