Clear Invalid Content: finding item folders that are empty or broken, after Eagle’s repair tool of that name.
Eagle walks images/ and counts as invalid:
- an
<id>.infofolder that isn’t a loaded item and has nometadata.json: the folder is removed; - a loaded item whose original file is gone (whether or not its folder holds anything else): the item is moved to the Trash (if it isn’t there already). An item whose original exists is never invalid, however few files its folder holds;
- a loaded item whose folder has gone altogether: it drops out when the library is reloaded.
It asks first, warning that a sync tool may not have finished, then
cleans up and reloads the library. falcon follows this, with one
difference: an orphaned folder is handed to the caller’s discard (the
app moves it to the Trash) instead of being deleted. A folder with a
metadata.json that can’t be read is left alone, as Eagle leaves it
(falcon reports such items when the library opens).
scan needs only a copy of the items, so it runs without the library
lock; Library::clear_invalid applies a scan.
