[Feature] Scan switch to avoid re-hashing gallery images
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the contents of zip galleries are intentionally rescanned/rehashed if they are rediscovered after being moved. This which slows down the scanning process if zip files happen to be moved around, this is especially apparent when moving directories of many galleries.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see a switch/option for scanning like Generate thumbnails for images where a user can opt out of the rescanning of gallery contents, the switch would allow for fast scanning when desired as well as the default functionality of a scan when not in use
Describe alternatives you've considered
Keeping zip files in place on the file system and not moving them after the initial scan, initial scans take some time but after it's done subsequent scans will be fast, this works but sometimes for the sake of organization or migrations the file path will change and need to be rescanned which causes all the images in galleries that may have moved to be rehashed again which takes as much time as an initial scan
