Refresh button in library #349

Closed KairuByte closed 8 months ago

KairuByte commented 9 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Adding a game/reindexing currently requires a "manual refresh" of the library panel. This means you need to search something, then clear the search.

Describe the solution you'd like This should not be needed. Every time you go to the library page, it should check if an update is needed at all. At the very least, a refresh button should be added. Even F5 would be welcome.

A reindex should (locally) also kick off a refresh of library data when it completes.

I understand why this is frustrating.

Reloading the entire library upon opening it would be horrible for weaker internet connections though.

Agreed, what about an API endpoint that requests the last time a library change took place? This would be useful for third party tools as an API call as well.

Reindexing should already trigger a library reload. If not, it's a bug.

I'll submit a ticket.

We could implement a manual refresh button (and maybe F5).

This is also a great idea.

@Yelo420 Would be nice if we could fit this into this release.

Yelo420 commented 8 months ago

Do we still need a "manual refresh button" after 354 is fixed?

Alfagun74 commented 8 months ago

yes, people ask for this all the time.
