Description

Hi,

Picture browser seems to load the entire directories recursively before displaying interface, this could take a lot of time even with a SSD.

It should list 1st level raw and then background update subdirs (like number of files).

Config: Raspberry Pi 4 8GB Raspbian 10 MotionEye 4.3.2 Motion 4.3.2 Image File Name: %Y%m%d/%v/%H-%M-%S-%q Storage: Kingston A400 SSD SA400M8/240G M.2 2280 with Argon ONE M.2 case

Regards,

Research direction
Examine the picture browser code in the motioneye repository, likely in the static folder. Look for file listing functions that recursively scan directories. Modify to list top level directories first, then lazily load subdirectory counts. Consider using asynchronous calls or caching. Check existing PRs or comments for any prior work.
