GServer Filename Cache

[Inverness]

Could a filename cache be made on the server so that large folders don't take so long to load?
Cause on Aeon we're having to create numbered sub-folders for images and heads since their are so many, gets annoying you know.

A filename cache would not make things any quicker.

The time taken isn't necessarily the server locating all the files - it'll be the fact that it has to send the file lists to you (at, I should imagine, a fairly limited transfer rate) and wait for RC to view it.

Perhaps some kind of filter in the filebrowser would be nice to have, so that you could only list the files in the folders that are of a certain type, or contain a certain word.
