It scans the whole SD card for files and compares it to the list in the database (global.db) to determine new/changed/deleted files. For new files, it will try to extract meta data (title, author, thumbnail). We've optimized the scanning and comparison process but depending on the SD card and content, going through the complete folder structure and loading the database can take some time.

For reference, can you give an indication of the number of files and folders on the cards and the time spend indexing?
