I do still have an issue with re-scanning... Is it also possible to add

a) a small cli app to scan, so I can at least see what's being added (if
anything)
b) a method to only scan a specific folder, I don;t need to rescan
everything if I've only added 1 cd.
c) some error messaging with scan failures. ATM it's sitting there telling
me it's "Paused" but I doubt it's true

Ok, personally I'm inclined to want to download a complete app with all the
plugins
at once, I don;t like having to download 20 different ones, and then
install each...
I get enough of that with linux ;)

But there is no reason that the config files shouldn't be split.

I'd prefer to be able to enable/disable things without having to delete the
folder.
