Is that file getting deleted somehow? Or are you changing most of the books around in some other manner than using calibre, causing calibre to need to scan tons more books that have not been added to the cache yet?

I personally do not want Calibre to rummage around on an SD card. I have an e-ink reader that supports directory structure and I keep *a lot* of books on it, organized exactly the way I want. I prefer to upload groups of books manually, each with a Calibre generated catalog that describes all the books in that series of subdirectories.
Sometimes I want to connect the reader quickly to my PC and transfer a single file and Calibre needlessly rummaging in my large collection, even for a few dozen seconds was annoying me.
So when I discovered the above described trick here I was very happy. I am just passing the info to make somebody else happy ;-)
