Initial scan taking too long [#21916]

The speed is slowed down most probably because you have a lot of artworks in external files, and new versions check these external files on rescan. But thanks for the log, I think I have idea how to speed it up (besides option to switch this check completely off), will try soon.

Fixed, in the next version rescans should be significantly faster even for libraries with many linked external artworks.

A zip-file with my config-file and logs from rescans with build 3194 and 3203

I use a SSD PCIe 5 as a bootdrive and a raid-drive for data, maybe thats the reason the scan with build 3194 is that fast.

Just wanted to confirm that external Artworks slows down rescan in 3203.

For me on 80k of tracks on NAS it takes average <5min, but I have 95% of tracks with Artwork saved to tags.

Wanted to thank you for persistence and good catch.

NOTE: This rescan check is added when we got number of reports that Album art fall back to default MM image when Art cache is deleted and external links gets not available.
