The loading speed of the image gallery is slow when the pub/media folder is very big.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to the Adobe Commerce Admin > STORES > Settings > Configuration > Advanced > System > Media Gallery > Enable Old Media Gallery to No.
- Clean the config cache.
- Log out and log in as an admin user again.
- On the Admin sidebar, go to Catalog > Categories and select the root category.
- Expand the Content section and click on Select from Gallery.
When loading the page, Adobe Commerce sends media_gallery/directories/gettree request to load the media folder tree.
Expected results:
The media_gallery/directories/gettree request should load content only from the necessary directories, other than looping the entire path list from the pub/media/ folder.
Actual results:
The media_gallery/directories/gettree request takes a long time to load when the pub/media/ folder has lots of content.
