Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or entry points; start by tracing the flow that adds a provider and reloads saved providers. Reproduce the delay with providers containing many channels, then clarify which of the requested loading and verification options are in scope and how completion will be tested.

Description

When adding a new provider, the software reloads all previously saved providers. This process can take a very long time, especially if the providers contain many channels. Since this doesn't make sense, I am asking if it is possible to limit the loading to only the new provider being added.

Additionally, it would be beneficial to give users the option, perhaps in the settings, to:

  • Not verify the addresses used and attempt loading only at the time of use
  • Have user-defined verification intervals

This would greatly improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary loading times.
