ReverentEnten's Experience
When it's working it's great. But all too often it gets stuck in some perpetual scan. I've checked the scan locations (disk or directory) to see just how many files it should be searching for. The count of files will continuously go up & up, and the file count will go well beyond the number it should be looking for (I'm talking a factor of 5x or more). You can't force it to scan 'hidden' directories. No command-line options. Trying to use the "save directories" option gives you a wall-of-text file that contains EVERY directory you've ever searched for, and not just what your current scan is.
