Feature description:
When adding a new Local Device Provider the wizard announces additional settings to be available after the provider has been added. That’s bad because adding the provider will immediately trigger a sync using expensive default options like looking for external images or lyrics.
Problem solved:
To add a Local Device Provider I’d have to add a small sub-folder first, wait for the sync to complete, then change all settings and add the “real” folder I’d like to sync.
Brought benefits:
Only one sync required to import the whole library using the correct settings.
Other application solutions:
Not really aware of other solutions. But I guess you always can change all settings before starting a sync.
Additional description and context:
I had other problems with the local device provider requiring it to remove the provider and re-add it afterwards. So for me it was not like a “but you only add the provider once” thing.
