Every time I reboot my Windows machine, Firefly seems to be scanning for files (massive disk activity for 5-10 minutes) and the system is very slow, it takes forever for programs to load. I prefer to have Firefly running at bootup but I’d rather it didn’t scan for files right away. Is ther a way to disable scanning at startup?
You can set your scan interval to 0. You’d have to manually scan whenever you added files, but that would work.
That’s how I run it.
Also, make sure you aren’t running 1313, as it scans *really* *slowly*.
