For reference, can you give an indication of the number of files and folders on the cards and the time spend indexing?
Why havent done that in background with a "watcher" to avoid indexer lockings and drain the battery?

Other problem: when files does not have metadata, they shows the same title for all. You can change that and if no metadata, show the file name. Sometimes is an essay and error to find the right file or we need to go to SD file view.
