I don't know if this will change how MTP is implemented, but on-demand file enumeration is not hard. I'm just tired of seeing the same excuse/statement. |
You are welcome to do the work and submit the patch. As it "is not hard" it shouldn't take you too long, and you will make some people happy.
PS: I am one of the developers who might choose to do this work. However, I have zero need for or interest in it, so am not willing to spend the time to do the implementation and maintenance.
