Add thumbnails to quickload resource selector #9499

Open SteinMakesGames opened 5 months ago

Describe the project you are working on

2D puzzle game using tilemap sprites

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

It can at times be tough to differentiate files by names alone, thumbnails are helpful

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Adding thumbnail icons to the quickload selector whenever one is selecting an image file. I've mocked up what I mean with a drawing: godot_suggestion_quickload_thumbnails

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

There's already PNG thumbnails in the file system tab. Maybe that code can be re-used for the quickload file selector.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

No, it's part of the editor UI

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

It's seems to be a minor lightweight quality-of-life feature that only improves usability

See https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/56772 It has linked proposal, which I think covers this.
