Libraries

Libraries are where the files are stored in the system and the directories that will be scanned for files.

Reprocess

To reprocess all files within a library, right-click on the selected library or libraries and choose the Reprocess option from the context menu.

This action will move all processed items, including failed items, back into the unprocessed queue. It will not rescan the library or remove any items.

Reset

To reset a library, right-click on the selected library or libraries and choose the Reset option from the context menu.

This action will remove all items from the libraries and rescan them for new items. All existing items from the selected libraries will be lost, and this action cannot be undone.

Scan limit reached

If you see the message:

Scan limit reached — no more items can be added right now. Wait for existing ones to finish or reduce unprocessed, disabled, or scheduled items.

It means your unprocessed queue, which includes items marked as Disabled, On Hold, Out of Schedule, has reached its limit.

You can remove items from Disabled to allow more to be scanned. These items will be automatically restored when the library is re-enabled and scanned again.

This limit helps reduce system overhead and keeps FileFlows running smoothly with a responsive UI.

Files are scanned continuously, and the queue will refill as existing items are processed. This message doesn’t mean you can’t process more files — just that no additional items can be scanned right now.
