appimaged recursion level/depth

[sandman7920]

I think it would be good if we were able to set recursion level.

I have several big libraries/frameworks in Applications folder (Android studio, android sdk, 4-5 versions of Qt, golang, etc), on start appimaged take a long time to check all the files.

Is it possible to do that using inotify?

@azubieta removed recursion from the AppImage search a while ago. See AppImage/AppImageKit#686.

[sandman7920]

Recursion is still used on app start (at least with appimaged from this repo).

Tested with ./appimaged.AppImage -n -v

[TheAssassin]

You're right. We should fix this.

Relevant code: https://github.com/AppImage/appimaged/blob/master/src/main.c#L108
I guess it is sufficient to remove the recursive call in https://github.com/AppImage/appimaged/blob/master/src/main.c#L147.

@probonopd next time try using fts, it's faster and easier to use.
