[How to use] How to efficiently find a specific AssetEntity within AssetPathEntity #1220

Description

Hello photo_manager team,

I am looking for guidance on how to efficiently find a specific AssetEntity within an AssetPathEntity, especially when dealing with large albums.

Currently, I am using the getAssetListRange method to retrieve all assets in the album and then checking if the specific AssetEntity exists. However, this approach can be inefficient for large albums.

  1. Is there a more efficient way to check if a specific AssetEntity is present in an AssetPathEntity without loading all assets?
  2. Does the library provide any built-in methods for this purpose?
  3. Are there recommended practices or examples for optimizing searches within AssetPathEntity?

Thank you for your assistance!
