Issue is that loading huge datasets takes forever the first time they load.
Discussed options were
(1) See if this is really necessary or can it be skipped or computed on the fly?
(2) if potree has a completely standard organization format can we impute what files are where and how they are named by some basic metadata, without having to explicitly list them ahead of time? (this is how we solved this issue with our timelapse tools - we have a very standard naming and folder structure so we can calculate the name and location of all data, we never actually check if it is there until we try and load it. This enables our timelapse player be able to play back timelapse of unlimited duration and any timestep and any number of images, assuming the images are named correctly and there isn't too much missing data)

(3) maybe the potree converter can be modified to add the data file listing folder contents when the dataset is initially ingested.

@AjayLimaye can you look into this and get back to me?
thanks
