File browser silently stops showing files after ~1024 items #2830
Description
I have a screenshots folder with about 1300 files in it. When I open it in Wave's file browser, my recent screenshots from the last couple months just... don't show up. At first I thought something was wrong with my filesystem or that the screenshots weren't saving properly, but they're all there when I check with ls.
After digging around I noticed the built-in file browser seems to stop loading after roughly 1024 files. No error message, no "load more" button, no indication that there are more files — it just shows a subset and that's it. This is pretty confusing because there's no way to know you're not seeing everything.
What I expected: Either show all files (with pagination or virtual scrolling), or at minimum show some kind of indicator like "showing 1024 of 1330 files" so I know the list is incomplete.
What happens: The directory listing just stops at ~1024 entries. Recent files are invisible with no indication anything is missing.
Environment:
- macOS (Apple Silicon)
- Wave v0.12.x
- Folder: ~/Pictures/Screenshots (~1330 files, mix of .png and .jpg)
This is especially frustrating for screenshot folders and downloads folders that naturally grow over time. You don't realize you're missing files until you go looking for something specific and can't find it.
Would be great to either remove the cap, make it configurable, or add pagination. Even just a warning that the listing is truncated would save a lot of confusion.
