While I would agree with you that that is probably true, I am not entirely ready to proclaim that they're "bad programmers" not knowing anything about the specific problems they encountered or the solutions they implemented. We only get to see the end result, and there could be a lot of factors involved. The method I suggested could use the programming solutions they already have. It would be a matter of merely modifying a small bit of code so the function that indexes a single file gets called only on the opened folder (non-recursively), and not on the whole filesystem.
