external library assets added, not removed?
When I add new assets to my external path they are picked up automatically, probably due to the default scheduled library management. However deleting files are not removed and I have to run ‘delete offline files’ is this something that is as designed or would it be possible to include the deletion as well?

This is as designed. Imagine you have some external assets added to albums and such, if your mount fails or something like that you don't want them to all be automatically deleted.
You could prevent this like eg sync thing does by having a file in the root of the libfolder so when it’s unmounted it sees the file is missing and when mounted the file is there. This could be a check for that.
Can this delete offline files be triggered by the API?
edit: typo
Yes, everything can be done through the API
Then that solves my problem 😅
