Description

Right now, thumbnails are generated only for the current viewport. If you have thousands of images in your library, you'd have to slowly scroll through the library to generate all of the thumbnails.

Solution

Have a macro (or any sort of tool/command/whatever) that would queue all files in the current library for thumbnail generation, not just ones that are currently visible in the viewport.

Alternatives

I use WinThumbsPreloader to bulk generate thumbnails, but that only works for software that utilizes Windows thumbnail cache (e.g. the default file explorer, or third-party file explorers like File Pilot). Since TagStudio uses its own thumbnail cache, that doesn't help (I'd actually prefer if TagStudio used Windows' thumbnail cache, but that would require having a separate thumbnail implementation for different operating systems).
