Christian Kamm e85a339d94 Local discovery: Use db instead of filesystem
We mostly trust the file watchers meaning that we don't re-scan the
local tree if we have done that recently and no file watcher events
have arrived. If the file watchers invalidate a subtree, we rescan
only that subtree.

Since we're not entirely sure the file watchers are reliable, we still
do full local discoveries regularly (1h by default). There is a config
file setting as well as an environment variable to control the interval.

The ownCloud Client reads a configuration file. You can locate this configuration file as follows:

On Linux distributions:

$HOME/.local/share/data/ownCloud/owncloud.cfg

On Microsoft Windows systems:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\ownCloud\owncloud.cfg

On MAC OS X systems:

$HOME/Library/Application Support/ownCloud/owncloud.cfg

The configuration file contains settings using the Microsoft Windows .ini file format. You can overwrite changes using the ownCloud configuration dialog.

Note

Use caution when making changes to the ownCloud Client configuration file. Incorrect settings can produce unintended results.

Some interesting values that can be set on the configuration file are:
