I've noticed that the more xci files you store on a HDD the longer it takes to scan (over 5min for 500 files). This obviously makes sense because it has to scan each file everytime you open the sx os menu. What I'm suggesting is incorperate some sort of database that stores your scan results for fast loading the next time you open then menu. Hopefully having this as a default option with the option to rescan the device to look for new/removed files.
Feature suggestion: Title database

I was literally coming here to suggest something similar. That way it can just check to see what has changed. Especially now that they enabled large HDD support. I have over 1 TB of XCI, and it takes forever to scan each time I go into the system. And then, it apparently loads the scans first, before being able to goto installer or homebrew. I feel like this is hugely needed. Keep up the great work guys.

Please, this loading take sooo long time here. And I can't choose a game during the loading because the game isn't load on switch. Only load if the scan is finished.
A option for local database and auto-scan on start will be awesome.
TIP: and a option to Alphabetical Ordering og games (inside guides) will be awesome too hehe
Any news as to whether or not this is coming? Scan times are getting out of hand on large storage, especially now that XCI installs are added.
