Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Just like file explorer has thumbnails, I'd like for power renamer to show thumbnails of the file(mostly for images) which would be really helpful in conjunction with this feature,
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/43066#issuecomment-3884116330
I'd like to have thumbnails that'd make the content of the images clearly visible, so medium to large size would be nice.
### Scenario when this would be used?
Say if I want to rename the contents of a zip file that has images but is randomly named, so I'd like to rename it in order based on the contents of the images, in a page sequence, so I can make it into a pdf, or for future reference.
### Supporting information
If it helps, on android there's a open source file explorer on github called Prism Explorer that has this/these feature/s.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the PowerRename utility and the linked issue comment for the related workflow. Define how thumbnails should appear for image files in the rename view, including the requested medium-to-large sizing, and consider the ZIP-file scenario as the completion case.
