Every time I mount a big drive (files rarely updated/changed), FSearch takes a long time to scan same files and update db repeatedly/needlessly.
Suggestions:
All paths should be treated as "One Filesystem" (exceptions can be made for advance users by editing a config file?)
Instead of "One Filesystem", some paths (like /mnt/path/ or media/path/) declared as a "Cloud/Network/Removable" drive, which will not update on start (or by Cron or Systemd). The db should keep index on these paths, even if the path is empty (unmounted), and
Users should be able to update index db limited to any single path/folder/ or search the /path/folder/ by right-mouse-click (e.g by Thunar custom actions "fsearch -u %f" or "fsearch -s %f" the like) -- based on read speed and number of files, if it will take longer than 1 minute to scan, then FSearch should show total approximate time needed to scan, number files in path (from db/last-scan ok), current drive speed, proceed/cancel -- this would be helpful
If such removable drives and mount/paths can be detected and handled automatically, smaller folders scanned (db updated) on the fly when user opens path to search, then it would be very good.
