I've turned into a bit of a data hoarder lately, I have a folder with over 43k images. Finder and File Explorer both struggle to even open the folder and load all the thumbnails, but XnView MP can load the folder without much issues.

It's a shame the system file managers feel so ignored, I would love to manage collections of files and folders rather than putting all my data into dedicated black holes with better viewing features such as Raindrop.io, Apple Photos, and Eagle 4.

If you're keeping them in just one directory on a drive I think you might run into filesystem limitations because it's just too many files in one directory, you'll have the same issue on Windows and Linux too. You potentially need to look into directory sharding, splitting it up a bit :)
