An option to only load thumbnails that are on screen to ram

Post by 280 »

the current functionality is to try to load every single thumbnail in a folder to ram, which is very slow (and memory intensive) especially for folders that have multiple thousands of images. Additionally, the program also tries to load something else first (it might be all embeded thrumbnails, it might be something else, all I know is it take a couple minutes for that to load) meaning you have to wait for that to load before you can even browse a folder, which is very annoying, with the simple addition of multiple gigabytes of ram being used when only a few megabytes should be needed
