      On Source Tree 2.0.5.2 for OSX, if my Repository Browser has no bookmarks, I have the option to scan a directory to locate repositories to add to Stash.

      I cannot find a method to scan a directory if I already have bookmarks. The only way I've found to scan a directory is to delete all your bookmarks and then rescan, picking a directory that is a parent to all the repositories of interest.

      This feels like a missing feature and the "Scan a directory" button should be available as part of the "+ New Repository" menu. If this feature is already present, it's location is unintuitive.

            [SRCTREE-3001] Better Surface Scanning a Directory for New Repositories

            Thank you for the feedback. These menus have been cleaned up and scanning a directory is available everywhere you'd expect. These changes will ship in our next minor release (or next beta if you've signed up.)

            Makes sense to me! It feels orphaned in the current menu.

            I discovered that the button was there about 6 months after I opened this ticket. It's unintuitive. If you want to add a single local repository (or any other type), you click "New Repository -> Add Existing Local Repsoitory", if you want to add more than one, you click "Settings -> Scan a directory".

            I feel the solution is to simply move that menu item from "Settings" to "New Repository".
