Hi John, sorry, I missed this topic.
I’d try the same things as you did, so I can’t think of something else you can do on your side.
It will probably need to “scan” just the first level of folders, and then “scan” more as folders are expanded. But then selecting all and importing all would also need to be changed.
Or easier change would be to have the option to define which folder to scan.
I’ll have to find some time to see if I can improve it.
Thanks

Hi @johnmf09,
Currently, there is no quick way to improve this plugin to properly scan only certain directories, in a way it’s explained in my previous comment. That might come later.
But for now, I pushed a small update which will allow setting which sub-directory to scan with custom URL. So to scan only this year, you can try adding something like this to the URL:
/wp-admin/upload.php?page=media-sync-page&scan_files=1&sub_dir=2020
or even just a certain month:
/wp-admin/upload.php?page=media-sync-page&scan_files=1&sub_dir=2020/03
It’s hacky, but this is as much as I could do for now.
Please let me know if it works for you. If something like this would even be helpful in your case 🙂
Another update @johnmf09 🙂
I just pushed a new version (1.1.3), so instead of that hacky URL trick, you can now go to Settings -> Media Sync and set which folder to scan. I’m imagining you can set it to use only 2020 which would have fewer files and won’t reach memory limit.
Please let me know if it helped, but I’m closing this topic for now. We can reopen if needed.
Thanks
Erol
