It only looks for the import folder when opening the Import Files
dialog.

It looks for the config.xml config file at startup (it looks for this
within your home folder, ~/.openshot to be precise), plus there are some
checks that certain folders exist (such as /usr/share/openshot), but I
wouldn't have thought that would be enough to cause python to fully scan
the file system.

Title:
  Scan of filesystem on startup?

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

Bug description:
  Every time I start up OpenShot it seems to do a non-trivial scan of my
  filesystem.  I notice it because I have NTFS shares from another
  server mounted on my desktop, and the first time I start OpenShot it
  causes the disks on the server (in the same room) to spin-up.  As this
  is a costly operation (scanning network servers with spun-down drives
  takes a few seconds!), I was wondering if it would be possible to not
  do such an invasive scan every time the application starts.
