Refresh/Scan stuck if cannot find item location until application restarted about kapowarr HOT 7 CLOSED

I also experience this bug.

I don't fully understand when this happens. To me it seems like you describe the following:

1. Have a volume with it's volume folder. In the volume folder are issues (files).
2. Delete the volume folder.
3. Run a "Refresh & Scan".
4. You say Kapowarr errors because the volume folder doesn't exist anymore.

However, there is already code that handles this by creating the folder before scanning if it doesn't exist. The code can be found in the backend.files.scan_files function.

So that error can't come up because of the process described above. So how does your process differ from the one I described?

@Andrewpaps @rmohns I'm going to close the issue until one responds

Not sure how to describe this any differently to post 1.

If a folder or a folder's contents are removed manually, Kapowarr hitches when trying to do a scan as it is unable to find that folder and unable to continue. This is only fixed by a complete restart and then deleting that volume in Kapowarr before it attempts to scan it again.

If there is code that creates a folder before scanning if it is missing, it is surely not working as intended. No error is thrown, it just gets stuck scanning.

This is what I did:

1. I have a volume with a folder and content in it.
2. I do a "Refresh & Scan", the checkmarks pop up for the right issues. Everything is normal up to this point.
3. I delete the volume folder.
4. I do a "Refresh & Scan".
5. Kapowarr creates the missing folder. The checkmarks disappear (logically), but everything was handled fine. No error. The missing folder was created.

So I'm still not able to reproduce. If you haven't yet, please upgrade to v1.0.0-beta-2 and see if the error persists.
