Hi there,
I created a dedicated filter parsing my whole database in order to detect music files added that are not already scanned.
This is my filter:
(scanned = false or BPM is Null or Length is Null or Key is Null) and ((Length is not Null and Length > 20) or Length is Null) and (Exists = 1) and (Online = 0) and (type = audio) AND (File Path doesn't contain sampler) sort by File Date
Yet, it seems to miss some files because when I move to whatever folder / list / etc., I can see that VDJ automatically scan some new files – because they are identified as new or some information is missing. And these files were not identified by my filter... So I probably missed something.
Some help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Just to illustrate my point:
Here's a screenshot showing an ongoing track analysis, where BPM and Key are already analyzed. So what stands the "etc" for in Analyze for BPM etc?

Thanks for taking my question under consideration 🙏

Thanks!
I gave My Library a try some times ago, I don't remember why I didn't keep it.
So I'll give it another try 😉
(Yet this doesn't exactly answer my request for identifying what my own filter misses!)

could be that it pulled bpm & key from tags before being scanned.

This makes sense. It's possible indeed.
This involves that there is some internal flag somewhere saying "this tracks requires re-analyzing", and I would be happy to access in my filter 😉

scanned=0 should do that
I see you used 'false' in your original filter, but I'm not sure if that actually works

Thanks for spotting this issue!
Fixed.
As my current database is now fully scanned, I can't test it right now! I will update the thread if needed.

UPDATE:
1. I added "My library" add-on
2. I went to my music root folder and launched "Batch/Add to search DB", just to be sure nothing would be missing
3. I checked the "My Library/Database/Tools/Not Scanned" and found nothing but online tracks.
4. I move to some folders and still find some (not recent) files being re-processed

Perhaps they were used with VDJ7?
If so they would have been scanned with VDJ7, but will be rescanned since the scanning has improved since.

That's possible.
Saying this, I'd like to mention that this is just disturbing for me, not at all for the performance: these unexpected scans are quite fast and happen seamlessly.
