Title: Delay in Image Visibility After Adding Folder #591
Description
Description:
When adding a folder with a large number of images (around 200), it takes approximately 8 seconds before the images appear on the home tab.
This delay seems to occur because:
The backend performs all thumbnail generation and database insertion in a single blocking process before returning.
The frontend only triggers a refetch after the entire process completes — meaning no intermediate updates are shown.
As a result, the user perceives a long pause before new images appear.
Steps to Reproduce:
-
Add a folder containing ~200 images.
-
Observe that the images take several seconds to appear on the home tab.
Expected Behavior:
- The images should appear incrementally or much faster, even for large folders.
