`DisplayUtils.setThumbnail` is currently used to load thumbnails in the file listing, and it is tied to the `onBindViewHolder` method of `OCFileListAdapter`.
However, `setThumbnail` performs multiple checks and triggers asynchronous operations, making it inefficient when called repeatedly during binding.
To improve this, we could introduce a separate component responsible for preparing thumbnails for all files in advance. This component would:
* Preload or generate thumbnails for the entire list after a directory swap
* Update thumbnails for individual files when changes occur
The adapter would then simply display already-prepared thumbnails instead of triggering the full thumbnail logic during each bind.
