ZELDA v1.0 released (Expression Language editor)

I'm simply asking how many files each playlist has to display on the list drop-down. It's nice to have, but not critical. However, asking this for a given playlist should not lead to a 30 minute API freeze.
These playlists for missing files, by definition, only contain files that are inaccessible. For local c: files that is not a problem, it takes 1 second to do 1000 file checks on an SSD. But for a missing LAN share, windows times out after 20 or 30 seconds for EACH call. That is why Moe sees it freezing for 30 minutes.
You can do a simple test on MC. Add a network file, disconnect the file server, and then just click on the file... MC UI freezes for some time. That is not nice.

Many threads about the issue:

I'm under the impression that this was actually fixed recently and the UI is no longer freezing, but I'm not sure (on my mobile now, can't test). But it'll still a problem on the API.

I am also stuck at "reading playlists".

Hi JHerbert,
Please get v1.0.1 v1.0.2 which adds a timeout on reading playlists:
https://github.com/zybexXL/Zelda/releases/tag/1.0.2
It will try to read each playlist and automatically skip the bad/slow ones. You can check the logfile to see which playlists were skipped - log is at %temp%\zelda folder. Each bad playlist adds just 1 second to the total startup time.
v1.0.2: I added an indicator on the playlist dropdown showing when the playlist timed out - check screenshot below.
