Is this another example of expectations not living up to reality?

Create smart folder, of all files on a particular [network] drive with name ending '.flac'. Wait 30 seconds while it populates. Go and do something else for a few minutes. revisit smart folder. Wait 30 seconds while it populates again.

Is this abuse?

Should I just make a shortcut, sorry alias, to my flac folder?

Just a pondering, not a criticism as such.
