Rescan won't pickup album folders starting with "..."

Unread post by Skinjob »

I recently noticed that a couple unusual album names that start with "..." are not getting picked up by the rescan.

The Smiths have "Best... I" and "...Best II" collections. The "...Best II" album doesn't show up in Madsonic.

Meat Beat Manifest have a "...In Dub" album that also doesn't get picked up.

I don't see anything in the logs about these folders, so I'm guessing the rescan is just skipping them.

Is there any way manually add an album when the rescan misses it?

May have to rename the folders. Linux and Mac systems identify "hidden" files by using the "." as the first character.

OK, that makes sense. Sorry for the delayed reply.

I hate to have to rename the albums just to accommodate Madsonic, but I guess there's not really any other workaround is there?
