<![CDATA[Strawberry taking long time while starting]]>Hello there,
Thanks again for this great application on linux. I am using for months now !
I updated my ubuntu 20.04 and installed the latest version of Strawberry 0.8.3 and created a playlist with all my collection in it as Strawberry does not have like a Collection view with all files listed.
The problem is that at each start, Strawberry is doing somehow a check of the whole playlist eventhough i unchecked the options in parameters like : ''Update collection/library at each start of strawberry'' and ''Monitor the modification of the collection/library''.
I have to wait like 10/15min at start and this is really annoying.
Is there a way to trust the database at start and do an integrity check (low processing usage) on the background times to times?

Here are my logs when it hangs :

All my music files are stored in exFat partition. I have like 400Gb music files mainly ogg.
Everything is fine on Mixxx application.

If it takes long I would suspect something is wrong with the database, or the disk where the database is stored. I've seen cases where the integrity check integrated in Strawberry does not pick up a faulty db.
Try run a manual integrity check, see: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/wiki/Database-integrity-check

I turned off all options i saw in link with database check at startup in collection options (Automatic collection updates...) and the options you talked me about.

I still have 11min30s on my machine to display my playlist containing my full collection.

19:55:13.111 DEBUG MainWindow:820 Creating playing widget
19:55:13.448 DEBUG MainWindow:872 Loading settings

19:56:08.719 DEBUG Database:550 Starting database backup
20:06:42.181 DEBUG _MessageReplyBase:30 Waiting on ID 0

Is there any way to avoid database integrity check and backup at startup?

Thanks for your reply,
