Problem/Motivation

Fatal error when opening Media Folder with a large database.

Fatal Error Code
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /var/www/html/docroot/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/Sql/SqlContentEntityStorage.php on line 599

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Media Folders Module
  2. Import a database (if available a large database)
  3. Open Media Folder Module

Proposed resolution

This maybe ignorance or a lack of knowledge in the module architecture and time may needed to understand the code base. If this is helpful then great.

Can the total number of files be parsed to get a head count or up to a known/safe data size then rendered in the module?
When more data is requested they're recursive pulled into the memory stack replacing the old group off the stack and rendered to the screen.
It feels like the modules attempts to load all files all at once and the theory is this may cause fatal error.

Opening initial issue to inform, updates and testing will be needed to true confirm this.
