- So caching a big device will take long time and/or timeout.
- Go-MTPFS (FUSE) and GVFS MTP - doing the partial directory walk rather
than caching all files.
+ - Especially Android devices nowadays assume that
+ you want to index a folder at the time, whereas older MTP devices (such
+ as those from Creative) would assume that you wanted to index the entire
+ device as it was plugged in, and device firmware is now ever more tailored
+ toward per-folder filetree walking. This makes it harder for the library
+ to provide the right abstractions: do we provide an API for indexing the
+ whole device which is unacceptably slow on new devices, or do we provide
+ an API for indexing a directory at the time which will somehow work on
+ older devices too? Shall we deprecate the older API?
- Detecting from vendor extension, can fix in newer extensions!
- Autoprobing on Linux
- Color devices do not like autoprobing
