database refreshing
Strife89:
If feasible, I'd actually like a small splash in the bottom right corner, displaying estimated percentage or number of files processed. It wouldn't be large at all, and maybe the user could keep going through the menus, etc. while it's there. When it's done, it simply vanishes (maybe showing "Done" before doing so).
I assume this would need a complete rewrite of the splash code to work, however. :(
MarcGuay:
I believe there is an entry in the debug menu that you can watch the database process data and get some other information as well. Perhaps even whether or not the database update is complete.

I agree.

so what does the "committing database" on startup represent?
MarcGuay:
Here's a little tidbit from the manual that was probably the answer to your original question:
"If Auto update is set to on, each time the player boots, the database will automatically be updated.
Note: The Auto Update will only check for deleted files if the Directory Cache (Settings → General Settings → System → Disk → Directory Cache) is enabled. Update now includes that check whether dircache has been enabled or not. "
P.S. I assumed that simply waiting a bit longer had fixed your problem because you answered vaguely.
pizza4me:
right, it did fix it. I was just asking what "committing database" is doing, because it has a progress bar, but when it's done the player is still updating (per the icon in the corner). So I'm seeing it as a different function.
