XYplorer Beta Club

I have a Sony Alpha 6700 camera and whenever I open a folder containing the raw images (file extension: ARW, size: about 40 MB) XYplorer becomes unresponsive. It doesn't crash but it takes forever. I don't even have it show any preview images. I just want to open the folder. It is ok with there are only 10 files or fewer but when there are more it becomes a problem. Especially if I have 1000 images. The same happens when there are ARW files in a search result. Once the folder is opened I have no problems using XYplorer.

Windows Explorer isn't much better. It might be slow to get the date. I notice that it's fast to list the files but the date for each file has to be loaded slowly. Maybe it reads the date/time from the metadata of the pictures? But it's still faster. Even when I switch to viewing the preview images it is much faster.

I took 928 pictures yesterday and I use Lightroom to browse them but it's still annoying to click on that folder and then having to restart XYplorer because it would take too long.

I use version 24.90.0100 and Windows 10.

While in such a folder, paste this into the address bar, hit {ENTER} and post the result
