XYplorer Beta Club
In the ‘Attributes’ search tab, there is an option to set a checkbox for the folder search. This generally works well, but all files within the search path are also searched. For a path with millions of files, the search is very slow. However, it is not necessary to scan all files. The search could be extremely increased by passing the files.
Can the search be optimised?

Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once.

Re: Performance issue folder search
Windows (every known version of it) does not provide a reliable way to enumerate only the directories contained in a directory. So XY has to look at all the items and decide whether they are a directory or not.
I could actually make the "folders only" search two times faster anyway!
