We're planning to remove the "Ignore small files" option from the import system.

Any objections?

[datdude]

none here, banish it!

This option was about the first thing I noticed when I checked the import options today. Many albums contain interludes or other tracks that are shorter than 10 s. At least you could change the default from enabled to disabled.

Remove it!  It's not difficult to remove any small files later that slip through the net and it sometimes caught out some legitimate ones.

I won't miss it.

I say either remove it or make the size limits user-configurable (which I know is going against the grain).  The fact is there's a lot of stuff I don't want MC/otto dragging into my library, but unless I can adjust the settings a lot of it slips past the "Ignore" function anyway, so I have to clean it up by searching via size.

No, I always allow short files

[gpvillamil]

Go ahead and remove it, short files on CDs usually represent small but important chunks of information.

Easy enough to clean up afterwards.

I'd say remove it too.

It was only relevant when an empty library offered to "search the entire computer". If you're now defaulting to the three default media directories, I cannot see any reason to skip small files.

[Marty3d]

I agree. Unless people put the music in C:\Windows, they shouldn't have any problems with those small files.

[glynor]

I've never used it.  If I ever need to remove them (or if you're worried about people complaining) it would be very easy to add a Smartlist that shows all of them that the filter would have normally caught (to ease their deletion).

I agree... Kill it.

[Deivit]

I'm not gonna miss it.

It's gone.  Thanks everyone.
