File listing regression in 2.3.6/2.3.7: Error when loading the folder
I upgraded from 2.2.x recently and noticed a problem which I then hunted down by downgrading until the issue stopped. It seems between 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 something has changed which has caused problems with displaying libraries, and traversing folders.
Expected behaviour: v2.3.5 Issue 1) Main libraries view sorted by most recent date. Libraries are shown with the most recent modification at the top. Issue 2) Traversing folders: fast and snappy even for folders with large numbers of files. Issue 3) (Related to Issue 2) Traversing large folder: fast and snappy.
Actual behaviour: v.2.3.6/v2.3.7 Issue 1) Main libraries ignore sorting by more recent date. Sorting is set, and the dates are correctly shown, but the sorting seems completely random. Issue 2) Traversing folders: this seems to be highly dependent on the folder size. Small folders are okayish - still slower than 2.3.5. Large folders are painfully slow. It takes upwards of 20 seconds to display the folder contents of 5954 image files. On 2.3.5 this was <2seconds. Issue 3) Traversing large folder: It appears to load for 30+ seconds and then briefly flashes the contents before display an error: "Error when loading the folder. Tap to retry". The working (but slow folder) has 5954 images in it. The next size up I have is 8236 images and this one fails with the error.
