Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Viewer can take a bit of time to open, as it loads the files before showing anything.
Describe the solution you'd like
- We could show the UI before having the file loaded (darken the view faster) as the loader icon is not really visible.
- We could also use a smaller version of the file if it is available. Maybe by passing an element or a size to use.

Research direction
The issue does not name specific files or tests. Start by tracing the Viewer opening and file-loading entry points, then determine how the UI can appear sooner and whether a smaller available file can be selected. Done means the viewer opens with earlier visible feedback and uses a lower-quality file when available.
