SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
Users have low frequency of change network shares, thumbnails regeneration over network even on an local ethernet gigabit connection is fairly slow.
Users should be able to mark network shares which dolphin would cache and thumbnail.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter a folder with music on an sftp share.
2. Navigate out.
3. Navigate in.

OBSERVED RESULT
Thumbnails are being re-generated.

EXPECTED RESULT
Thumbnails are cached.

Also would be nice if thumbnails would cache persistently not just for the session.
So that this state would be consistent on subsequent mounting of a network share.
Dolphin should try to regenerate the thumbnails as it does now, but in the background in case files change on a subsequent network share session.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
I'm on my phone right now, but I use debian testing 13/trixie and it's up to date.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
One step closer into UX heaven, one step further away from UX hell.
