refreshing Photos' DB

[Jay]

When I add a new folder/album to Photos and hit the refresh database button, the new folder imports and all pictures appear as expected.
But for several years now, if I add 1 or more photos to an existing album, the only way I can make it/them appear is to delete and recreate the DB. The they import.

Have I forgotten something over the years?

first refresh is a "quick" refresh it just looks for new folders, it ignores existing folders it knows about. If you press refresh again within 15seconds it will do a full refresh and check existing folders it knows about.

A long time ago it would always check everything but people with huge movie and music collections couldn't handle the time to check everything.

Ah! Thanks.

Good to know!!!
(I add this "todbits" as very small text near the appropriate buttons on my screen)

I decided to add a new command called "refresh full", this will always do the full refresh in case someone wanted that old behavior.

Super. Thanks again.
