Disable Cleanup Warning on Sync

I notice whenever I sync my big collection to SD or Prime it takes some time for it starts… and then it firsts present me with a warning message that the sync could result in music being removed from the synced device. Although I am certain this message is for the good of users not knowing what they are doing, I think I have some experience and would rather have the sync to just start. Would it be possible to disable this warning by user choice?

Would need to be a feature request.

Oh I would support that. I’ve lost count of how many times I started the sync, left the laptop alone for hours just to come back to this message.

Either show it right away with no delay or let me disable it :frowning:

Yeah, the most frustrating part of this is that it’s not an immediate prompt. You press “Export to Drive” and you have to wait multiple seconds, sometimes tens of seconds, before the prompt shows up.

I want to be able to hit “Export to Drive” and IMMEDIATELY be asked any relevant questions, so that I can walk away while the export completes.

That being said, I think it’s some sort of bug, because we shouldn’t be prompted by this, period, if we’re not making changes on the exported drive. Today, I will be prompted this, tomorrow I will be prompted this, and every single time I export to the drive, I will be prompted this, yet I’m not doing anything on the drive that should cause any sort of divergence between the libraries.

Edit: The only thing that I can think that would be triggering this is having a Smart Playlist with a rule “All tracks with Genre == ‘Tech House’”, I add a new Tech House track to my Collection, which means it’s now in this Smart Playlist, and the Smart Playlist on the exported drive will be updated, but it’s being erroneously seen as an ‘overwrite’. Which I still see as a bug, but this is also just a guess and I have no idea what’s actually triggering this to happen every single time I export.
