Summary0013191: Scanned external HDDs in MMW should be excluded from Portable devices list
DescriptionExternal HDDs usually are detected As portable devices by WMDM which is correct unless user scan external HDDs in MMW library which should automatically exclude that HDD from Portable devices list and remove it from MMW Tree or (More complicated solution) instead of showing sync options move focus to tree location of HDD in MMW library (if Entire Library tree is enabled).

As soon as some external HDD is scanned in MMW library it should not be handled as portable device but same as any scanned HDD.

Current solution/workaround is that user manually go to Portable Devices list and untick external HDD. It is rather confusing, non intuitive and not well described in our documentation which then lead to problems and duplicate or grayed tracks.

Peke is probably right that if user Add/Rescan the HDD then we could auto-disable the device profile (untick) in Options -> Device Sync

This would prevent the unwanted scenarios when library tracks are device tracks and vice versa.

What do you think Rusty?

As talked on IM we should not forget the case if Drive is already Scanned and User Delete Device from list of portable devices on next connection new profile will be created it should be also disabled by default.

That way we should probably eliminate high CPU usage due the 0009913

Reverted to feedback in order for Rusty to confirm and triage for fixing in MMW 4.1.12

Ticket LSM-222-18603 is combination of 0013191 and 0012868 as the last file has 266 chars long path, so we should ignore scanning device files with path longer than MAX_PATH until 0012868 is resolved.
Tracked as 0013195

Fixed in build 1786.

i.e. if a folder is scanned from external HDD into library (via Add/Rescan) and the device profile is enabled (HDD visible also as MTP device in MMW) then it is auto-hidden after the library scan (disabled). User can re-enable the profile in Options\Portable devices.

Improved in 1787

Because I can distinguish between external HDD and removable medias (SD card, flash drive) then external HDD is auto-disabled as device profile on first connection (even if it wasn't scanned into library). Can be manually enabled in Options -> Portable Device Sync as suggested in 0009913

To summarize:
Eternal HDD: is auto-disabled on first connect OR if it hasn't been synced yet
Removable media: is auto-disabled once a folder is scanned to the library and the device hasn't been synced yet

Re-opened:

Michal has two external discs with the same volume label and because we added the numbered suffixes (0013408) then one of the discs fails to match and remains enabled.

Fixed in 4.1.14.1809
