Over SD Scanner

Scant een opslagmedium voor media en andere bestanden.

An app to force Android to scan a storage medium for media and other files. Uses a method compatible with 4.4 KitKat and 5.0 Lollipop, tested on my Nexus 5.

In Android 4.4 KitKat, the method used by most older programs to rescan a storage medium no longer works. Instead, an interface must be used that only allows one file to be specified at a time. This app works by determining what files/folders might need to be scanned again, and then by calling the correct API on each file/folder.

This app is licensed under the GNU GPL v2 or later, with source code available at http://github.com/jerickson314/sdscanner

SD Scanner can be used with Tasker by using the "Send Intent" action listed under "System."

Use the following settings, leaving the ones I don't list at the default:

Action: android.intent.action.RUN

Package: com.gmail.jerickson314.sdscanner

Class: com.gmail.jerickson314.sdscanner.MainActivity

Target: Activity

If anyone wants to write a proper Tasker plugin, I'll happily take a Pull Request on Github.

Wat is er nieuw in de nieuwste versie 1.11

Last updated on Aug 4, 2015

1.11:
- Tweak wording on "ignore updated/changed" option.
- Added translations for the new option.
- Skips empty directories, as on some devices these forever show up as files in MTP if scanned.
- Doesn't follow symlinks outside of scan directory. Should only affect rooted devices, but following these can cause problems.

1.10:
- Option to ignore updated and changed files outside scan directory.
- Fix a rare crash.
