problem renaming a file if lots of other files in same directory

I am able to reproduce an odd item. If I have a video file in a directory with lots of other video files, filebot takes a VERY long time to find the movie name. Usually I give up after 10 minutes.

Note that I am only trying to rename 1 file.

If I move that video file to another folder that is almost empty, filebot finds the correct name instantly.

Up until the latest update, I had an issue where the above scenario would find the wrong name. It would think the current movie was actually the last movie in the current directory (I was not trying to rename *that* file)

filebot seems to be sensitive to other files located in the same folder.

Note that all of my video files are located on a network share.
