--apply refresh will help you call /usr/syno/bin/synoindex -R or /usr/local/medialibrary/bin/mymediadbcmd buildfolder on newly added folders depending on the platform. This will help ensure that new files show up in file services and media library which might otherwise sometimes display out-of-sync file listings.

ok, I understand,and as I'm running this directly on a Synology folder ... it's not useful on my case. Thanks for the clarification.
On Synology NAS, if you process files locally, and then try to access those files remotely via SMB, then you may sometimes not see the new files due to caching and indexing not being up-to-date. If you ever run into some kind of "filebot moved files but they're not there" kind of problem, then --apply refresh will help with that.
It's hugely important that the first impression that new users have isn't "filebot deleted all my files" so proactively detecting common or severe user errors out-of-the-box takes precedence. That being said, you can alway use --log ALL | FINEST | FINE | INFO to adjust the log level to your preference.
