In that case it isn't the File Monitor that is run multiple times, it's the user selected folders that are scanned again.

:o
I'm running 4.0.3.1465, and before that the official 4.0.2 version. There always was a File monitor... button under Options->Library.
It leads to the same dialog as File->Add/Rescan files to the library...

If you're in Options > Library > File Monitor you're using an old version of MediaMonkey.

Two library scans running at the same time [#9012]

Following a problem I had with album art (discussed here) I set up my library with a startup scan. This scan may take a few minutes to complete.
If while this scan is running I make changes to the Options->Library->File monitor... settings I end up with two concurrent scans of my library.
That's probably not a good idea, especially when they're both accessing the same HDD (in my case, on a mapped network drive).

Is it possible to queue these scan operations?
