Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current web preview does not support pagination, so when there are a large number of files, the loading of the webpage can become very slow or even crash.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a pagination feature, allowing users to choose the number of items displayed per page.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Just like the display of Google search or the transmission web interface.

Additional context
None

Research direction

The issue identifies the web preview's file list as the affected area, but it names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the web preview file-list implementation; done means large file sets load without excessive delay or crashes and users can choose how many items appear per page.
