Hi, I'm tryig amarok 1.4 and I'm quite pleased with it. Keep the good work!

Just one question... When I quit amarok it looks like it scans the music collection or something like that. I mean, it does not close inmediately and there is disk actility in the partitions holding my music collection. Why is that?

Nope, it doesn't scan the collection, but it does general shut down work. This includes saving the configuration, playlist and other data.

OK about shut down work, but the big disk activity is on the partitions where only the music is stored, so it's doing something related with the whole collection. With a big collection it takes some time to shut down and it certainly performs some reading on the partitions where the music is stored. As you said, that should be not necessary.

well, could it be it was scanning as you started, and wasnt finished already?
that would explain it, because the search of your folders was not finished already.
you are able to shut this off, and do it manually.
there is an option like "watch folders", turn it off, and see if problem persists.

OTOH it might also be that you moved new files to your ciollection folder on your hdd. could this be the case?

hds, I have "watch folders" turned off. I scan the collection manually when I add music to it.
