Long load time

Open ghost opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

If a directory has a a lot files it can take a while or even error out and you have to try again and it may let you see it eventually. I have tried to cache it or something but alas all my attempts end up failing. Plz help me with this as I have literally thousands of files and I really like this file browser

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

Unfortunately it's not easy to solve this problem. Pagination is done client-side at the moment and to change that would mean to rewrite a core functionality of the IFM. So I guess that won't happen anytime soon, if not anyone puts in the effort.

You might be able to reduce the loading time a bit by disabling the permission, owner and group columns, since these information aren't fetched server-side if disabled, but that might be not much.
