Hello!

I updated my Samsung A7 tablet On Dec 28th. I had to reallow my computer to access the device, and I saw that Calibre then recognized it. But, ever since then it's taking increasingly longer to go through the "Getting List of Books on Device" - I have about 7,000+ - every time I connect the tablet to Calibre.

First it was 7min 38s on Dec 29th, then it was 8min 11s the first time on Dec 30th (today), then I reattached a second time again it was up to 9min 27s, a 3rd test just now (Dec 30th) says 9min 23s. When I look at the status info, it looks like it's going through all my folders - I see the filenames of photos on my sd card. I thought I directed it to ONLY read my "Books" folder...

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Previously, before the update to the tablet it would do a quick 35-50 second scan, read my books and I was good to go. Now it's just taking too long to connect. My only recourse would be to have the tablet ignored and just save the ebooks directly to the tablet side storage.

My Calibre version is 5.29, which I know is old, but I don't update unless I have an issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
