What Happened?

Expanding a folder containing 2000 small files (not text) was very slow (20 - 30 seconds)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a project containing a folder with thousands of files
  2. Click on the folder to expand it
  3. Wait ... wait ... wait
  4. The folder eventually expands
  5. Closing and reopening the folder is relatively quick

Expected Behavior

Expanding a folder containing lots of files should be reasonably fast (and/or give user feedback) and not block the interface.

OS Version

7.x (Horus)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Probably not critical as there is no crash or data loss and maybe an edge case. Hopefully this is one of the things that the Gtk4 port will mitigate. I'd rate it as medium priority.
