database refreshing
pizza4me:
Sansa e260v1
The database on my player is struggling with refreshing. I usually try to turn Auto update on (I have to re-select it every time - maybe a bug?), because I change SD cards frequently. Usually this worked well and way quicker than the Sansa firmware version. However, I put a good amount of files on a card yesterday, and the player still thinks it has files from other cards on it, and is only recognizing part of the new card. Each restart is resulting with a few more files being listed, and now finally has removed the files from the other card.
Am I waiting long enough for it to refresh? The opening screen has a progress bar, but not the "Update Now" function (that I am aware of).
Card details: 2gb, with 1.5gb used, approx. 950 files.
I did make sure that no file has more than 80 subfiles, and I have changed the Max Files/directory already.
Any ideas??
MarcGuay:
If you turn on the status bar or have a WPS that displays the drive activity, you can monitor when the device has finished processing the data, and only check the database afterwards.
As for having to set auto-update repeatedly, could you describe what you're doing step-by-step?

My status bar is on when it auto-updates in startup (although even after that went 1/9 through 9/9 it still was not completely updated), but I don't see one for when I select "Update Now." It only says "updating in the background."
So I guess this theme does not have that display...
Any WPS suggestions?

Main menu/settings/general settings/database/auto update/yes
It usually will only give me the progress screen on startup, if I re-select "yes" (even though it is already highlighted) and restart it immediately.
This could also be a theme deal where I just don't see it happening, although I've used 3-4 different themes and still had the same issue.
MarcGuay:
The status bar is the little info section at the top of the screen. It contains an icon which is shown when there is disk activity. You can turn it off and on in the settings.

I did actually see that like 5 minutes ago, but it was not as obvious as a progress bar...
now I know
thanks for your help
