I know that, but it still took forever. It is slightly quicker if you delete the folder and then recreate it later.

The annoying thing, one of the more annoying things about the vast number of files was that they all seemed to be identical 100x100 pixel png files. I dropped a few hundred on a hash utility and had identical CRC. All of them were the same size.

The other annoying thing, one of the many other annoying things is that there is no indication of how many files will be created or how long the job will take, it is just open-ended. The last time I tried it I gave up after 2752 minutes (46 hours).
