Description
The maps:scan-photos command actually runs through all the user files which is definitely not wanted when you have not only photos in your userspace. An option to restrict the scan to a certain folder ist needed. This is true for maps:scan-tracks also (because .gpx is not unique to .gpx Tracks, but also to GuitarPro files for example).

Research direction
Start by locating the implementations of the maps:scan-photos and maps:scan-tracks commands and read how each currently selects user files. Define the folder option and verify that it limits both scans recursively without treating unrelated files elsewhere in the user space as inputs.
