      I have my library on an external SSD.
      If I forget to connect it before starting Strawberry, my library is cleared (I have update library at start).
      I have to do full a full rescan.
      An error message should warn that the specified location is not found and either exit or retry.
      Thanks

      PS: I would like a 'lite' version as there are too many options for non technical people

        try disabling Library scan during startup.
        Probably it is rescanning and without the external storage, the library becomes empty.

          OK, but I still consider this as a bug!
          It should warn that the disk is not connected rather than erasing everything.
          That would be easy to do.
          If you have a large library, it will take a long time to rebuild.
