Add an album : Don't scan files that didn't change

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. import a folder into jbrout
2. change or add 1 picture in the filesystem
3. import this folder again

What is expected ? 
jbrout should import the new file, remove deleted files and shouldn't do
anything on other existing files.

What do you see instead?
jbrout scans all files from that folder and extracts again all metadatas
etc. That takes a lot of time.

It would be nice to add ony files that have a system modification date
different from the modification date that was on that file last time it was
imported.

like to see this feature, too.
but file modification time may not be a good indicator, since there are many 
programs
that keep the original filetime.

the other way by checking if "Current IPTC Digest" has changed is pointless, 
since we
need to read metadata anyway. any other suggestions?

what about file datetime + size (bytes) ? We may also have a "force refresh" 
option
that would force a total reindex ?

I would prefer the automatic file-synchronization with the actual files.
If you delete a file outside of jbrout, jbrout detect the file missing and 
remove it without asking any question.
If you move files in folders watched by jbrout, it detects automatically 
missing files, new files and moved files.
