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.
