            Bug ID: 349279
           Summary: collection scanner rescans after restore
           Product: amarok
           Version: 2.8.0
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Collections/Local
          Assignee: amarok-bugs-dist@kde.org
          Reporter: evert.vorster@yandex.com

I use a computer at home, and one while I am traveling. Both have the same
collection of songs (500+ GB)
After a trip abroad, I would synch up my home computer to the laptop, and when
traveling, I would synch up the laptop to the home system. 
All my settings and data are transferred between the machines. They have
exactly the same directory structure and contents, but Amarok insists on
rescanning the entire collection whenever I change computers. I suspect that
this is because of the HDD ID changing from it's point of view.

Is there a way that I can avoid it rescanning the entire collection? This takes
many hours to complete for each user on the system. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rsync entire computer 1 with computer 2
2. open amarok
3. collection now shows empty, (0 tracks) and needs re-scanning

Actual Results:  
Amarok forgets the path to where the collection is.

Expected Results:  
Amarok should remember where the collection is, and not need a re-scan just
because the disk that the collection is on changed ID

I am aware that this is not the usual use case, but I would very much like an
option where I can tell Amarok to ignore disk ID's
