[mythtv-users] safer mythvideo scan for changes?

Ok, this weekend I did something stupid.  On one of my frontends I
went into mythVideo and did "Scan for changes" without having
/var/lib/mythvideo properly mounted.  mythTV then went ahead and blew
away the entirety of my video database, including custom player
commands, poster associations and such.

It's not a really big deal.  I have a database backup from not too
long ago and can fix the recent changes fairly easily, but it still
seems to me like perhaps this kind of operation is a little too
trigger happy.  It would be nice to have some sort of user
confirmation before rows are deleted.
