Description

I have Precache images enabled in the app settings. However, this only seems to apply for single images, not for albums. It would be nice if album images could also precached in some way. For example, precache only the first image when the album overview is shown. When you open the first image, preload the second one, and so on.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing the existing single-image precaching path and the album overview and image-opening flows. Implement the described sequential behavior for album images, then verify that the first image is prefetched from the overview and each next image is prefetched as the current one opens.
