Let us know how it turns out.
As I noted in a prior post, when I used the built-in Theater View Explorer function, the response was instantaneous when navigating in and out of folders, as well as showing the full-screen movie art in the background. I am virtually positive that is due to having imported all my movies/shows, whereas you have not.

Importing the HDD to the library, resolved the slowness - now browsing is pretty much instant - THANK YOU ALL !! - my concern is related with file deletions/additions that I plan to do to the HDD, and how Explorer will deal with them moving forward. I will report back as I learn more from it.

1. Importing to the library defeats the purpose of having a file explorer. I mean... one could just browse or search directly in the library, no need to navigate to folders on disk drives.
2. Selecting "list view" does not display the file names, it still displays titles from the file metadata. To see this, just try it out on some files that are not imported to the library.

As the OP noted, importing files into MC completely solved the previous slowness he was experiencing in MC's Theater View. As I understood it, he was never using Windows Explorer to navigate folders on disk drives, he was using MC's built-in explorer (see Theater View options) but it was very slow. So the "purpose" of importing files is not "defeated", but rather the solution.

If you really want to see filenames as they are shown in Windows Explorer, you could update the thumbnail text to point to the filename instead of the Title tag.

How/Where exactly is this done ?
