[Feature] Button to cancel import process #369

Open demeralde opened 3 years ago

demeralde commented 3 years ago

Bug/Feature description

I accidentally added my entire hard drive, which has a tonne of audio files in many directories. But I wasn't able to cancel this, or even confirm that I wanted it to happen. Now I have to wait until it searches, then manually remove this source afterwards.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add a source for audiobooks that contains a lot of files (so it takes a while to load)
  2. It should add it without a prompt, and not enable you to cancel it while it's searching this new source

System Information

Whenever I start the app now, it also freezes because this storage location is very large. Not sure what to do to work around this, besides reinstalling the app?

Hey, thanks for reporting :) A way to cancel the import process is indeed something that should be possible. If Cozy is unable to start right now the easiest way to start over is deleting this directory, but you'll lose all your book progress etc...:

~/.var/app/com.github.geigi.cozy/data/cozy

Otherwise if Cozy starts you can delete the configured storage again from the settings.

It's also possible that the database is somehow corrupted now and therefore you're experiencing the lock up. Cozy should be fine with lots of audio files.

Another (but sadly cumbersome way) would be to open 

~/.var/app/com.github.geigi.cozy/data/cozy/cozy.db

With an SQLite DB client and remove the storage location from the Storage database and the books and tracks from the respective databases as well.
