I have a directory (including .stfolder and .stignore): 11G total 6007 files 301 directories and it was working fine on 9 a week ago. (I have not yet started syncthing on 10 with a new layout and move to zfs because I feel I need extra backups first, probably unjustified fear.) I remember this happening, but not super clearly. I dimly remember turning off some watch options and leaving it at periodic scan, and also that this used to not be an issue but then maybe a feature appeared. I think there is a code path that instead of inotify uses kqueue and somehow adds every file.
