Loading metadata int database takes long and consumes lot of CPU
I run the screensaver on a folder with 120k+ pictures/videos where 99,9% no changes in file structure happen. After every start the screensaver rebuilds the list of files + the metadata database which loads the disk + CPU - what affects the performance of background tasks (e.g. backup of the picture library).
Is it possible to implement one of following:
- configure how often the database is being rebuild (e.g. once a week/month)?
- limit the CPU usage to e.g. 2% of CPU capacity / disk troughput
- stop using the metadata database completely
- limit the time when screensaver updates the database (e.g. 01:00 till 04:00)
- something else?
BTW: Big thumb up for yor screensaver - I like it!
