Title: Feature Request - Optimize Folder Size Scan in Everything
Post by: hlhp on February 26, 2025, 17:16:59

Hello,

I’ve noticed that when scanning a large number of folders within a directory by using "Everything", the process can be quite slow. I believe this might be because the API is called separately for each folder.

Would it be possible to optimize this by making a single API call to retrieve all folders within a directory (e.g., using parent:"D:\"), and then mapping the file sizes accordingly?

Yes showing Root can be slow..  No it does not call for each folder.

It is actually only done 1 api call.
Problem is that Everyting is not optimized for just returning folder size.  (Everything 1.5 will be better) it doing a search.
So when asking about the root of a drive. Everything is actually returning everything on that drive and MC need to filter out what it needs. But for what I understand Everything 1.5 will handle it better
