Well, at the moment, it seems DiskUsage reuse the scan data when you
rescan.. but I can't see any big advantage in doing this. I was actually
working on 3) then got a bit bored and started that thread.. :P
I think I'll just start a whole new scan everytime, and if it gets aborted,
just revert to the original one. But I was lured into keeping the old
behaviour (where it is "refreshing" the scan data).
And yes, I added the Folder Monitoring a while ago.
