    Image Manager extremely slow - is there something wrong

    Dear all
    I just tried to download the latest image and noticed a very strange behavior of the image manager. I already started when clicking on image manager. The circle started spinning and it went nearly one minute to open. Inside the spinning went on and I suspect something does not play.
    So I looked into the debug log which I will attach. Here are some lines with an error statement.

    21:27:32.2512 [InputDevice] Found: evdev='event0', name='dreambox advanced remote control (native)', type='remote'

    Do you have a clue what is going on when trying to upgrade?

    So that could mean a backup image from 1 box could end up on another box on same network as i found H7S on my Et 10000

    It only looks in local attached devices and networked devices… so if you keep.everything on a NAS then add machine identifier

    Would be nice to have a setup option, disabling network search for for image manager. Without this, I would have to un-mount my laptop and remove my swap USB. Alternative: Old way - download new release, put it on a USB and boot with stick.

    I don,t think it takes that long….. I have 2 NAS boxes and its only probably 20 + seconds at most, and the box has to have the devices attached through your network settings.

    Is the short time because the network devices respond quickly? I don't know anything about this function but on other networks I have had experience of, if a network check is taking place and a device doesn't respond (perhaps it's been removed) the delay becomes the much longer timeout values.

    Interesting as my network scans on Et 100000 does not see my H7s but is mounted on it and might be to do with switch and everything on Home network except for 2 nas drives which need looking at or moving .

    i thought Vix had a configurable option to say where they are? One location only.

    To me, it would be far better to scan the varying folder names used by the images (images, downloaded_images, imagebackups) as well as root of devices connected to box. Scanning network locations should be an option that is off by default. Those who use a network mount will enable that option, majority don't.

    This is not a new situation, it was discussed.
    So Huevos now provides an option, default to the user defined folder(so OK birdman) and for the rest it does what all the others do and looks for image zips.
    If anybody wants something else feel free to issue a commit.

    Sorry, I am not understanding what what you are saying nor do I have access to where the discussion was held, so sorry if I am duplicating what was asked already

    Can you please answer this specific question:
    Does image manager now check the folder names that other images use?

    To answer my own question:

    getImages([path.join(media, x) for x in medialist if path.splitext(x)[1] == ".zip" and model in x])
    for folder in ["imagebackups", "downloaded_images", "images"]:

    EDIT: But it does not work

    Of course it works. Do you think that code was written and nobody bothered to test it.
