OK so it's not that auto add is not working. And it's not that any conversion is taking place, that is turned off. it's that with a lot of books in the folder, it takes forever for Calibre to start the import process. I am guessing that it is cataloging all the files before attempting to import them. but it shouldn't take 6-8 hours to begin the process. I could look over the list by hand in under a minute and decide with ones were ebooks and which weren't.
This is how my non programmer brain sees it. I figure its a folder and the contents will change so... see a file. look at the extension, if it's a known extension. attempt to import it. if not skip it. try the next. each pass start over. but get to work, why sit around chewing your cud. if the user is stupid enough to keep dumping so many non eBook files in there that Calibre cannot get to a real ebook, then that is their fault (and probably not possible to do).
I don't understand why it's taking so long for things to ramp up. This is an external 5Gbps USB connected raid box (it's fully capable of maxing out the USB 3 port during reads). It also has lots of pretty activity lights so I can see when it's accessed and prior to the import process there is little going on. Calibre seems to truly be ignoring the folder. I assume it had pulled the contents of the folder when it was launched and is spending the 6-8 hours mulling over the list before beginning the import process. Calibre's CPU usage was only a couple percent during that time.
