Waveform 12 Pro: Slow loading of large folders in browser

[unholyeyebrows]

Hi

I am running Waveform 12.1.8 Pro on Windows 11 and have a large folder of samples (sorted in sub-folders) in my Documents folder (therefore on OneDrive, if it matters - all files are synced to the disk so are local, not in the cloud). I have a bookmark set for this folder in Waveform's file browser for easy access.

Now, whenever I click on this bookmark, Waveform takes about 30 seconds to display the folder list, which is rather frustrating. If I navigate way (i.e. click on my plugins folder) and then come back to the bookmark, it takes another 30 seconds to re-generate the list.

I'm wondering whether this is a bug, and can this list be either buffered somehow or generated more quickly?

Thanks.

I have a large folder for sample storage and I end up using the 'Files' tab instead of the 'Search' tab + bookmark for the same reason. It involves a bit more clicking but it stays where I left it and my samples are organised enough that I can get where I want pretty quickly.

Nice work-around - thanks!
