Hi,
Unfortunately, that filter will not make the scanning faster for two reasons:
- The regexp needs to be executed on the whole filepath to be really valid, and because of that, I need to go through the whole hierarchy of folders anyway; it would be actually really difficult to limit the broswing depending on a regexp (or I would need to create my own regexp parser, basically)
- What takes the most time is actually the analysis of the content of your install, not the actual browsing of the files
Yeah, Media Cleaner needs to go through everything in your install, every little piece of data, and sometimes even decode it. It’s actually a super intensive and extensive process. It takes time, there is no way around it ??
