I am against Qt to make a snapshot of the directory because it will not be done efficiently, means that this code, to be efficient, depends on the task to achieve, and there is probably a ton of optimisations that we can apply in a particular context. Maybe create a separate to provide a helper of creating a snapshot? In this case I would suggest using a sqlite database and not the memory. Memory is definitly a showstopper.
