Found out lately that Windows has a timer/stopwatch (Universal App?) thingy in it. Cool, I'll use it! But wait, it doesn't make a noise when the time is up. Why? Because they decided that all (Universal Apps) share the same setting, and you must allow all to hear one. Of course I disabled that when installing this box a year ago, because I don't want to hear a beep every time something changes. But it would be nice to hear alarms and timers.
Tempted to use the word 'idiots.' Usability going backwards.
That's all. Gripe's over. Have a good day!

Then you will have to write a Universal Filter app that can filter out certain sources

This is about file systems in general, although with a primary emphasis on NTFS:
If you are expecting to stor a huge number of files - in the order of 100 k or more - on a disk, is there any significant advantage of spreading them over a number of subdirectories (based on some sort of hash)? Or are modern file systems capable of handling a huge number of files in a single level directory?`
If there are reasons to distribute the files over a series of subdirectories, what are the reasons (/explanations) why it would be an advantage?
Is this differnent e.g among differnt FAT variants, and with NTFS?

I can tell you from experience that Windows does not do well with thousands of files in a single directory.
You will be much better off distributing them over many sub-dirs.

Can you provide an explanation of why it would be that way? Or is it at the "gut feeling" level?

I can't explain why that is, but it's quite simple to test. Write a small piece of code that copies an image file into the same directory multiple times. Doesn't have to be 100.000, I think 10-20.000 will suffice.
Then try to open that directory with Explorer.
That'll give you an idea about the problem.

Probably because a windows folder isn't designed to contained 10,000 files, unlike database table which is expected to contain millions of rows. Or spreadsheets.
When we browse into a folder using windows explorer, it tried to read all file names inside that folder. There's no virtualization or partial loading. Reading 10,000 file names and extensions is surely detrimental.
EDIT : it's probably fine as long as you don't browse it using any explorer view.

At one point Microsoft actually recommended no more than 10,000 files per directory in NTFS. This was years ago, however.
The real reason is that file name scans inside a directory are sequential.
