"Move" file hangs while loading folders recursively

[jg10-mastodon-social]

I tried to use the "Move" dialog option and it just got stuck on "Load folders".

Looking at the network requests on devtools, it looks like it's trying to recursively load all the folders on my pod - which are very many.

It would be great if it instead only loaded a subset of folders at once, e.g. one or two steps ahead - so moving navigating up or down the folder hierarchy would be quick but the UI didn't have to wait for everything to be loaded.

No move operation currently exists in the Solid specs - so this is largely a spec limitation. LWS is considering adding this as an optional feature; we should use that feature if/once move is available there.

Thanks for the response. To clarify, it's the folder selection dialog that fails to render in a timely fashion - because it's trying to spider my whole pod just to display the dialog. This is therefore not spec related.

Got it - thanks for clarifying!
