Pagination Feature

[zenull]

Could you please add pagination feature so it can be possible browse directories with thousands of files?

Many thanks and much appreciated!

Yes. I'm working currently on an update which comes with some breaking changes. but is not ready yet.

If you don't want to wait for the next release, you can build the IFM from the branch "sane-coding-style" which I just pushed. There is an additional config option "paging", which is false by default, but can be set to true.

Note: In this branch I rework the error messages, so you might get error messages saying "null". In the best case this shouldn't happen :-P

I would love something like this as well. I have a few large directories and they take forever to load ...

BTW, thanks for creating and opensourcing this awesome project!

Hm, the current solution works only client-side, which does not reduce the loading time for the entire file table. Implementing a "lazy-loading" solution would take some more time.

Thank you, @misterunknown.

Either full lazy loading, or lazy loading of metadata (size, permissions, etc.) would be great for large directories.

I think I'll go with full lazy loading. Lazy loading only for the metadata would require some huge effort on the client-side and I'm really a JS noob. I hope I can use the DataTables library to handle it client-side, and hence only have to implement it server-side.

Bug: when pagination enabled - image preview work only on 1-st page.
