Change how the thumbnails are loaded in lumina-fm. Now it loads the entire directory up front with placeholder icons for image files - then kicks off a background thumbnail process afterwards to gradually convert the placeholders into thumbnails. This allows the user to instantly start to browse/use the directory while the thumbnails are still being loaded (if on a slow system or have tons of large image files to read).
