Yeah the UI is already responsible when the database activity log starts to display. I hope some day you will fix this or at leas speed it up.

Perhaps it would be possible to load folder information after unlocking the UI, rather than before?

I mean, I don't need the entire folder list if I just want to see a couple of nearby images (if after opening the first file I will use the previous or next file) or even just one image (if I don't even want to see previous or next file).

Yes, the problem is if you need to use next/previous file, XnView needs to load full filelist...
