Autoscan newly insercted USB drives from external software (Rekordbox, etc) #16548

Feature Description

Mixxx's lazy loading for drives is problematic and non-intuitive: drive only gets scanned when the user navigates to its specific node in the sidebar tree, there is no automatic detection of newly plugged USB drives.

One expects the refresh button to do this, but both actions are independent of each other, and sometimes the node doesn't even appear.

In a live gig scenario where time pressure is high, the requirement to know to click a specific sub-node for something that is automatic everywhere else is not discoverable and creates friction and frustration with the software.
