Option to create an empty library

[jmariani 21]

So you can later add items either by hand or by a disc monitoring event.

Isn't that already possible by adding blank/empty root folder as library path? 

[jmariani 21]

Don't know, but my idea is to add the root folder, but not run the library scan immediately after creation. It takes too long to create the library if you have a lot of files (I have more than 2 million tracks)

Any new library creation will trigger full scan - which you can just as well immediately cancel, since you're not adding any new content.

You would have to add via the api and "RefreshLibrary": false.  But at the same time an already scanned library should now take long to rescan adding an empty folder.
