[Valentine Khanmamedov]

1. unable install 1.62 version add on with external drive with daz data connected, during enabling its seems add-on try to scan whole 4tb data disk
2. if detach external drive 1.62 installing without problems but if setup external drive path in settings then close blender and start it again, add on try to scan all external drive again and finally stack blender

all this steps without import file process just installing and just starting blender

the same for 1.70

1.61 version work well with this preconditions (external drive)

Blender version 3.3.1

OS: MacOS Ventura 13.0.1

Fixed in last commit. This change was introduced to find files on a case-sensitive file system. However, I think Mac is not case-sensitive, so it is now disabled on Mac (darwin) by default. I changed the behaviour on Linux too. Now you must press the Scan Absolute Paths button in the Utilities panel if you want to update, to avoid that the entire database is scanned accidentally. The paths are stored in a file which is read when Blender starts, instead of rescanning the database every time BLender starts. The drawback is that you may miss files if the database has changed, but that is only a Linux problem.
