Possible bug in automatic media library scan

I had 6 albums selected for a file_operation (move and rename in 1 go). It was all the same artist (Amethystium).

I checked move entire source folder content and delete empty folders and pressed run. It errored, perhaps because two of the albums had the songs in one folder, so foobar decided to move them along twice (i missed that in preview). After I closed the dialog, it was impossible to get those two albums shown up. I did file_operations again (this time without move content checked), so it corrected. That didn't work, it renamed ok, it moved ok, but it didn't show up in my library. Kinda strange, since foobar the old way should have known after the operation it was there, but now, the new way, it should have known it was there automatic. I dropped the folders a few times in foobar (really drop, en through explorer's context menu), but didn't matter. It needed a restart, then everything was fine.

So it's not a biggie, but a bug it is I think.

(my setup: winxp home, sp3, athlon xp2000, foobar default ui and library on a NAS like \\nas\music)

My problem seems related to yours. I need a restart to have my library (which on a NAS also) updated
Here's a link to my problem described a bit better.

Also the shared folder which contains my library on my NAS is mapped to a virtual drive.
So in Media library preferences, the path is Z:\
It has maybe no importance but i thought i should mention it, just in case
