P: Folders filter bug - super slowdown in huge catalog

After any attempt to use the new Folders filter I have to kill Lightroom 😞
My catalog contains about 230 000 photos.

What happens:
1) Write anything into Folder filter
2) Folders are correctly filtered, which is nice nad useful, thanks!
3) I don't do anything - no clicking, so nothing else changes - same displayed photo, same folder chosen, same photo selection.
4) However: The Keywording panel and the Metadata panel both shows "Working..." and this takes very long time (minutes). (Note: It seems that sometimes this happens immediately after filtering, but sometimes after selecting any other photo in the current view)
5) During this time, half of LR is unusable. No context menu, Develop is not working, etc. When quitting LR it displays 'There is a task in progress: "Gathering information".' If I proceed with the quitting, the LR is still running in background, so I will kill it and restart.

It would be great if you could take a look at it, thanks!

    As I noted above, it seems to be fixed.

    I even tested it right before the upgrade ( = pain and suffering) and then 10 minutes later after the upgrade ( = flawless). So good job, thanks! 🙂

    Lightroom Classic CC Version 7.4 was released earlier today and should have a fix for this issue. Give it a try and let us know if you continue to see this problem. Thank you for your patience!

    Two months. Is there like one developer available for working with this? Adobe's financial stats would suggest there should be enough resources available.

    We have not fixed this issue in Lightroom 7.3.1.
    We are working on the same.

    Thanks,

    So frustrating to see 7.3.1 release and find the folder search bug is still present. It makes this long awaited feature completely unusable.

    Hi Sunil, In my experience, in a library of some 167K+ images the folder search pegs one core at 100% indefinitely making the application effectively unusable. Worse, even closing the application (this is on Windows), leaves the process running in memory while the one core remains pegged at 100%.
