    Hi! Tried lately to refresh my music database on my HTPC from the MP configuration. Every time at approximately 90% the whole configuration stopped responding (configuration.exe continued to eat system memory, mem leak?). I could not understand what the reason was until I cleaned up some HDD space. That was the solution. I assume that the creation of the folder.jpg's eated my disk space.

    However, I would like to report this as a bug.

    Everytime the image creation fails an "exception" is handled which is a costly process. Then the scan goes on with the next item. Since it doesn't currently decide whether there was no disk space or if just one file / folder.jpg was buggy it goes on until the scan is complete.

    Please understand that there cannot be a check for disk space on every single item (that would slow down scanning of thousands of files considerably) but maybe I can change the error handling to skip the rest of the scan.

    Shares with less than 100 MB of available space will now be excluded from scanning. This should be a good compromise for most people.
