I have my ddfilelister set up as a loadable module. When doing a new file scan, I've noticed my file lister is executed for each sub-board, and the sub-board code is passed in and the scan mode is passed in via argv. When doing a new file scan, I've been checking bbs.new_file_time. It seems I could set bbs.new_file_time to the current time when it's done, but that would mean when ddfilelister is executed for the next file directory, it won't list any new files because bbs.new_file_time would have been set to the current date/time.
So, I don't know if it should be ddfilelister's responsibility to update bbs.new_file_time or not?
