Performance improvements for file navigation and enumeration:

  • Increased concurrency limits: 4 concurrent folder enumerations, 20 concurrent thumbnail loads
  • Implemented smart preloading for visible items with viewport-based loading
  • Added differential collection updates to prevent UI flashing
  • Increased batch size from 32 to 200 items for better throughput
  • Added icon caching with WeakReference for memory efficiency
  • Removed expensive async operations during file enumeration
  • Added performance monitoring for slow operations
  • Fixed icon flashing by setting LoadFileIcon = true immediately
  • Optimized zip file detection to avoid unnecessary async calls

These changes significantly improve perceived performance and reduce UI lag during file navigation.

@hishitetsu can confirm, but if I recall correctly, this delay is to allow time for Windows to finish caching the thumbnail for items in cloud drives.

Correct. Without this delay, thumbnails will not be able to load.

There is one a little higher up. That said, there are a lot of intricacies and this code is difficult to follow even with comments.

- Fixed TaskCanceledException by using local cancellation tokens instead of global ones
- Improved error handling with try-catch blocks around all async operations
- Enhanced viewport detection with larger buffers for smoother scrolling
- Added Ctrl+Shift+T hotkey to force load all missing thumbnails
- Implemented progressive thumbnail loading with priority system
- Added low-resolution thumbnail pre-loading for better performance
- Fixed race conditions in concurrent thumbnail operations
- Added proper disposal of resources in Dispose method
- Improved scroll throttling to prevent excessive thumbnail loads

These changes significantly improve thumbnail reliability and prevent crashes during fast scrolling or navigation.

There's a few issues,
Thumbnails won't load if the folder is refreshed
Git information doesn't load at all

I had one time where all the folders icons would be the same in medium layout size, I have restarted and not been able to reproduce it

It's also slower for me then in preview, clicking on a folder takes a while to start highlighting it and then only after it's highlighted will it open

We cannot review this much of the diff. Why not split the changes up into a number of PRs, closing this for now?
