Description
problem
i see material files is caching thumbnails but as soon as the app is closed, looks like the thumbnail cache is cleared and thumbnailing process is restarted from beginning (noticeable when opening folder with many videos).
suggestion
caching thumbnails into persistent folder like nautilus's /user/cache/thumbnails would be nice, with option to clear the cache from the setting.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the thumbnail caching and settings entry points in the Kotlin Android app, then determine how thumbnail data currently survives app restarts. Done means thumbnails persist between launches and the settings provide an option to clear the cache.
