In very old versions there was a limit of 32k files, but I fixed this, and while doing so I also remember testing it with more files than this. 100k should be no problems.
But 1.5m files is uncharted territory. Not even sure where to get hold of that many files to test with :-)

What I meant was that you can filter the folders. Say that you have folders like this:
folder100
folder101
folder102
folder200
folder201
folder202
With each folder containing 1000 files. If you load the root folder (+subfolders) you will get all 6000 files. But by setting the pattern mask to folder1* you will limit the loaded files to only half! I hope you understand what I mean.
