Public bug reported: On first startup, Amarok scans the entire home directory without asking whether this makes sense. For example, if your home directory contains source code, or a large photo collection, this probably isn't what you want. You probably want it to scan your music folder instead.
I tried to unselect the home directory in the preferences, but without selecting any alternative collection folder. Amarok's response (on hitting "Apply") was to start scanning the home directory, without even updating the treeview to show that it had re-selected the home folder.
