I tried to implement this feature but unfortunately there are performance challenges to it. To fetch all the thumbnails I will have to download them to the local machine from the device.

Either I can do it the first time the user plugs in the device something similar to "Scanning" in VLC or other media players or keep download these thumbnails whenever I visit a directory and cache them. MTP protocol is shitty, old and should have been depreciated a long time ago. It is slow and can't do anything in parallel.

I will look into implementing this feature.

Hello, I didn't know it was so slow. In fact, while using the tool, picture download is quite fast. Maybe, refresh only thumbs on visible items or trigger by hand...

Thanks anyway for the work

I came here for this too. It seems to be a small matter to get the thumbnails. Waiting for 12mb to transfer far outweighs transferring a few files to see what they are. one video would far surpass that

It will be a nice feature that allows user to select and easily delete from phone bad pictures before copying them to the computer.

Hello everyone,

I'm planning a lightweight and modern rewrite of the app in the near future. This will be a complete GUI app overhaul from the ground up. I will try to add this feature into it.
