Today, I restarted my Mac and after Channels started up, it decided to scan and reimport my entire library. This isn’t the first time this has happened and it has caused some issues as well as a lot of extra reading and writing to the hard drive. I’m using a spinning external 5TB hard drive for my library. After looking at the log files, it seems that Channels thought the files were either missing or new. I’ve included a small sample of the logs right before and after rebooting.
Any thoughts?
