[Workaround] Rescan only entries that have monitoring enabled, conveniently?

[Herkules97]

Is there a way to only rescan entries added that have monitoring enabled?
On my property-heavy instances, I add a bunch of folders and then set some to not monitor further because I just want it as fat as possible with properties and files even if I then delete files from those paused entries.

But I don't always run these instances as I might need the RAM elsewhere, so they can miss changes. Without setting automatic rescan on active entries, how do I rescan them all? Do I have to temporarily edit the ini to enable auto-rescan before running to make them do a rescan then exit and remove the changes?
I presume it'd be easy enough using the line for what entries have monitoring enabled so the ,0, are kept intact and ,1, get modified to whatever numbers are necessary to enable auto rescan. Thus what is paused wouldn't be auto-rescanned on next start.

It could fit under either the Index menu below Rescan or within the Rescan menu at the top with "Rescan all actively monitored entries".
Or more tasks in its own menu next to Rescan under the Index menu. The one above would be one task. Another could be "Rescan all entries" and "Rescan all paused entries" if you use paused entries for some other purpose. I know there is a rescan all in the folders section but this would add it to the menu where other relevant tasks are too.

The two I'm thinking of are v1.5.0.1405a and v1.5.0.1407a, but I doubt it exists in the latest version.
Maybe it's too niche to warrant, surely the ini method works fine..I haven't tried it yet. Not rescanning today, more so for the future. I'm dumping it out there at least.

Everything doesn't have the option to rescan all folders with monitoring enabled.

You will have to manually rescan these folders.
This can be done from the Index -> Rescan menu or Tools -> Options -> Folders -> Select a folder -> Rescan now



Please consider a bookmark that rescans all these folders.
For example, set your bookmark search to:
/rescan c:\folder
/rescan e:
/rescan f:
/rescan g:\folder

/rescan

That is another way of doing it.
Would be a pain to set up all of the entries, but when it's done it only needs new entries..
I will likely use the ini method, as long as I can make it happen the way I imagine.
Finding what is and isn't paused out of 986 entries would be very boring
I'd also like to keep all search history and each bookmark revision would be its own bloated addition.

I am aware it doesn't exist but it can be programmed in, but I take it your reply is implying it won't.

If anyone else is looking for a method to do this, I haven't done it yet but I imagine it this way..
Copy the whole "folder_monitor_changes=" line.
Paste into
folder_update_types=
folder_update_intervals=
Change nothing for types and possibly nothing for intervals if it's already 6.
Then edit the two from monitor_changes to update_types and update_intervals.
This should then mean every folder that is set to monitor will on next start either immediately rescan or rescan after 6 minutes.

After rescan, exit, revert to the previous ini or just replace between "folder_monitor_changes=" and "folder_update_intervals=" to what you had before. For me this works either by using AJC Active Backup's archives or by using Notepad++'s backups. Or Clipdiary if I copy those lines to it, I can paste them in from there. [Insert whatever backup solutions/clipboard managers you may or may not use] presumably works too.
