As I said already, I am not convinced that "focus in" is a good heuristics for triggering auto rescan, and I suspect that you or others may come up with and replace it with a better heuristic over time. During that experiment, it would be better to allow interested others to opt into the feature to help, while not disturbing ordinary users who are OK with the current behaviour.
