I'm not sure if it's correct to override last scanned folder by selected track folder ?

1. I'm not thinking to override last scanned folders, but as Scan is initiated manually I was thinking that if invoked by INS key then when dialog is initialized it ignores previous scans and just add folder(s) of Selected track(s) in scan list and do not save them as previous scanned folders at all, unless user set monitoring for any of folders.

eg. If Scan is initiated normally it works as it is working now, but if it is called using INS key then list is cleared(previous scans are not loaded at all) and fill folder list with folders of selected track(s).

NOTE: Even we still load last selected folders for scan dialog still needs to add folder of selected track to list. As otherwise user needs to select choose folders and manually navigate to folder with selected track in order to scan it eg. same behavior if you press insert on selected folder on tree view.

2. If you press insert on Selected folder in Tree it override last scanned folders even Cancel is pressed so this is certainly a bug one way or another.

EXAMPLE:
Current behavior = Double click on track in Windows explorer -> MM5 Plays it -> Select -> INS -> Delete previous folders -> Choose folders -> Navigate to right folder based on path from Explorer -> OK -> OK tracks are added and common scan folders are lost if set to be scanned manually (ONE TIME)

After change behavior = Double click on track in Windows explorer -> MM5 Plays it -> Select -> INS -> OK and whole folder is added

RESULT: Current behavior requests more than 7 additional clicks to get same thing and that is if user knows Explorer path if not it is more than 15 additional clicks

Assigning to Rusty for a feedback. I don't think it's good to have different behavior for Ins key and "File / Add/rescan files" menu entry. I see your point, but whouldn't be better to have popup menu item like 'Scan track folder' or something like that ?

The scanning dialog should allow:
- users to exclusively scan the a selected folder
- users to scan previously scanned folders
- users to remove folders from the scan list

The current implementation is problematic re. the second requirement since scanning a single folder clears the list of previously scanned folders
1 in Music, press INS and scan --> Folders A,B,C are scanned
2 select folder A, INS and scan --> folder A is scanned
3 go to Music, press INS --> folder A is scanned (instead of A,B,C). i.e. folders in the scan list are lost.

A possible fix would be to include checkboxes next to items on the scan list so that the user can choose which items to include in a scan. i.e.
- if the user selects a folder and presses INS --> the selected folder is added to the list, but only the selected folder is checked (others on the list appear, but aren't checked)
- if the user doesn't select a folder and presses INS --> all folders in the list are selected
